Future Technology
and Breakthroughs
What about older buildings?
In the future, all new buildings will need to be
scanned to make a holographic image. They will be outfitted with bluetooth
technology heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide sensors, which would be linked
to fire and police stations. Blueprints from older buildings
could be scanned to produce the holographic image and these buildings also
could be
retrofitted with bluetooth heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide detectors.
Development of Hologram Technology
Researchers would need to develop hologram
technology to make it versatile. The technology would need to be
easily manipulated and able to be oriented via GPS to relay information as
the firefighter looks in one direction or another. Holograms would
need to be created from blueprint drawings, using each of the floor plans to
create the 3D structure. Additional information such as thermal
imaging and location of firefighters or officers would need to be able to be
interfaced into the hologram.
What else would need to change?
Holograms themselves would need both an internet
network with higher bandwidths and high speeds compared with today's
technology, and computers capable of performing trillions of instant calculations.
The technology would have to advance to eliminate the need for 3D glasses to
see the images, according to howstuffworks.com.
Testing and Experimental Trials
In order to be sure that this technology would be
accurate, testing of the SIGHT System would need to be performed in a
variety of trial situations with mock emergency scenarios. Data collected on
the accuracy of the holograms could be computed through measurements in
order to refine the technology. Testimonials from those firefighters
testing the equipment would be most valuable in order to be sure that the
system was helpful and accepted by other departments.
