BEAMING to the hospital for rehabilitation: immersive virtual reality for the remote patient. " " http://beaming-eu.org/node/219 View in LinkedIn

EU IS BEHIND IT WITH CASH "The EU Commission’s Community Research and Development Information Service (CORDIS) wants to (develop) a system called “beaming.” When fully developed, it should reportedly provide telepresence so real that for the operator and the people at the other end, it will be like the person is actually there.""

"Teleportation is an important future technology in the field of quantum information processing... it may be possible to transmit information from one location to another one in a future quantum device or processor. Compared to today's information and communication technologies, which are based on classical physics, quantum information processing has the advantage that the information density is much higher: In quantum bits more information can be stored and more efficiently processed than in classical bits.""

BEAMING a physical interactive other self: " The goal is to produce a new kind of virtual transportation, where the person can be physically embodied interacting with life-sized people who may be thousands of kilometres away."" " http://lnkd.in/bHpaub3 View in LinkedIn

BEAMING IS A DOUBLE SELF: "is the process of instantaneously transporting people (visitors) from one physical place in the world to another (the destination) so that they can interact with the local people there. This is achieved through shifting their means for perception into the destination, and decomposing their actions, physiological and even emotional state into a stream of data that is transferred across the internet.""

DEAR READER, now that I have sampled from the many deep and still waters, among obscure brooks, and found enough growing and changing floral forms that can fascinate me for decades, I will (slowly) transition to essay form to concentrate on these, with less postings (to the relief of some). Conclusion: at least a dozen or so of the most fertile areas that are emerging will be of great importance in our lifetimes. Thank you all for being my guides, in so many ways View in LinkedIn

SERIOUS PEW RESEARCH POLL (2013). "According to the poll, more than two-thirds of Americans said they had presumed that by 2001 human beings would have bodies made entirely of pixels, by 2006 they would stop eating food and acquire sustenance by consuming pure data, and by 2011 they would no longer travel by car or on foot, instead hitching light-speed rides by fiber-optic cable whenever they wanted to go somewhere."

BEAMING as new VR state. "The researchers define ‘beaming’ as digitally transporting a representation of yourself to a distant place, where you can interact with the people there as if you were there. This is achieved through a combination of virtual reality and teleoperator systems. The visitor to the remote place (the destination) is represented there ideally by a physical robot.""

CYBERNETIC IMMORTALITY attracts its share of truly loopy loo Cuckoos, with manifestos and more nonsense , but at the heart is an interesting question (which I have so far been negative about). "After the “resources of the biological body have been exhausted, the 2045 Initiative would enable an indefinite extension of our individual consciousnesses." (Whatever that is!).

NEW BEAMING TECHNOLOGY. "Putting all this together -- the rat interacted with a rat sized robot that represented the remotely located human, and the human interacted with a human sized avatar that represented the remotely located rat."" " http://lnkd.in/bfKVBevhttp://lnkd.in/b6hkjPK View in LinkedIn
