Advances and inventions made possible through electrical engineering have enabled people all over the world to connect in ways that were previously thought impossible. Here are a few key inventions that have helped take human interaction and communication to an entirely new level:
Eye Tracking Technology
This technology promises to provide disabled people with a way to connect with others through eye scanning hardware that can help them communicate and access technology.
Virtual Reality
Virtual reality has long been an eagerly awaited development for many people. It allows individuals to wear hardware that can display a virtual world around them.
Immersive Technology
Immersive technology will enable people to walk freely through the virtual world by way of The Virtualizer, a platform and belt that monitors the user’s movements and footsteps while markers attached to the body are tracked with cameras.
Wireless Technology
While an integral part of our lives now, there was a time when wireless technology seemed like a thought from science fiction. Wireless technology allows us to enjoy connections with the Internet and each other, without any physical hardware connecting to receivers and transmitters.
Wearable Computing
These technologies have allowed people to monitor various activities, both on their bodies and in real time around the world as they enjoy going about their daily lives.
Video Chat
Video chatting technology has made it possible for people from all over the world to connect and enjoy face to face communications, no matter the distance and no matter the nature of the call itself.
