Science - Ideas

The following are some ideas that could be implemented by someone/some group (some of these could be rather difficult to do).

• Decode EEG waves (brainwaves detected by a special helmet you can put on) into thoughts, words, images, emotions/moods, music
• Speech-to-vocals software for the PC / windows. Specify notes and words and it sings them. VocalWriter does this for the macintosh but the voice sounds a bit computer like. Natural Readers is a natural sounding text-to-voice but not text-to-vocals. Maybe if the two technologies were combined, we could have a realistic sounding vocal singing generation software for multiple male and female voices.
• Cars that can drive by themselves, and/or can take over from a user in a potential accident, beeps if someone behind you approaching too fast
• One card that can hold the contents of multiple cards eg medicare, video hire, bank, proof of age, drivers licence, libraries. This is like the "Australia Card" idea that didn't go ahead in the end.
• 3D Printers (printers that print out 3d objects). See Skunk Works' Polecat printable robotic plane
• Humanoid robots (robots that look like humans). See Realistic Japanese Female Actroid Robot and Actroid Robot in Booth Babe Outfit (now called Repliee Q1)
• Computers that can learn to have conversation as if they were a person. See Computer learns baby talk and IBM simulates cat's brain, humans are next
