Emerging Technologies

1. 3D Printing

   • Works by adding layers of material onto a surface, with each layer a 3D object can be built up
   • Copies can be made with 3D scanners and then printed with 3D printers

2. Artificial intelligence

   • A system that can percieve its environment and act accordingly-mimics how a human would act
   • Used in the banking industry to detect credit card fraud
   • Used in expert systems

3. Vision enhancement

   • Helping people to see better
   • Zoom facilities or night vision goggles

4. Virtual reality

   • An environment generated by a computer system to stimulate the real world
   • Requires input and output devices to interact and manipulate objects
   • Used in video games or for training pilots and drivers
   • Used in health care to train surgeons to treat people with disorders

5. 3D and holographic imaging

   • Holograms use recorded light patterns to recreate images in 3D
   • 3D makes images or videos look more realistic
     • Wear special glasses

6. Quantum Cryptography

   • Very secure way of encrypting data
   • Believed to be unbreakable
   • If anyone attempts to read data, sender and reciever both know
