Help Explain These

[l.lawliet31415]

I need one or two paragraphs explaining how:

• Quantum Communication
• Hologram
• Ansible
• Augmented reality
• Virtual Reality
• Smart Machines
• Voice-enabled technologies
• Artifical intelligence

Works

 

I have a competition coming up and we need to remember the definition of these and how they work

Thank you guys so much

I know this is not the right way to use the community...but I desperately need them

 

(Next Techquickie idea perhaps?)

Let me preface this by saying that you're most likely not going to get any full paragraphs about anything. however, I can cover some of the topics I know with a brief summary:

Augmented reality

Overlaying an image ontop of reality which can interact (ideally naturally) with the reality. the most basic example of this is pokemon go, or snapchat filters.

Virtual Reality

immersing someone in a... virtual reality. AKA vive/occulus. no interaction with real world.

Voice-enabled technologies

Uh... you talk to the technology with your voice and it does what you say?

Artifical intelligence

the attempt to make computers really intelligent -- able to think for themselves, learn, etc. this is being done in projects like Google's self-driving cars, which is a scenario where the car really needs to think for itself, since a programmer can't write code for every conceivable scenario.

I will do my best with the help of Wolfram Alpha and Wikipedia

Hologram

A hologram is simply a photograph that you can use to reproduce a 3-D object.The way that we store holograms as in the simplest way I can describe it,basically bouncing a laser off various surfaces.You take something like a half mirror to split the laser and bounce the 2 beams off the object(with some other mirrors to adjust angles and stuff) where the lasers collide a hologram is formed.

Ansible

If I remember correctly this is just any faster than communication device.It has to be a communication device like a phone or something.I learned this in english so IDK if it's relavant

Augmented reality

 

Enhancing the real world with some type of virtual component

Artifical intelligence

Wolfram's definition of this is "the demonstration of intelligence or creativity by robots"

There are however different levels of this obviously

Oh! I just remembered this one.

It's a sci-fi thing that enables faster than light communication. no basis in reality at all.

Thanks everyone, that really helps

I shouldn't have asked to write a paragraph on this, sorry for that

Yes the Ansible is the method of which they communicate in Ender's Game - it's also how the alien queen communicates with - and controls - the alien drones.

 

Though, if I recall correctly, many other sci-fi series have taken the term and used it in similar manners.

 

Fun fact, apparently it's also a piece of software for automating certain development functions:
