The Future of Digital Cameras
Description
By 2025, a more developed technology will be exhibited due to the rapid growth of technology. This will lead to a creation of Optical Serial Bus (OSB). The launch of this improved device is likely to be a pivotal technology as it becomes a part of the user. It is a microprocessor that enables the user to capture still photographs and record videos directly from their eyes. The user has to wear glasses that come with the product since the glass lenses capture data as it flows from the eyes to the brain and saves until the user desires to view the information. The saved files can be scanned through the vision recognition system in order to upload them on the computer. Once the data is uploaded, the user can go back and find a specific time period or events, and extract the images they need. OSB will be more serviceable since it records everything that the user views.
Development
Between now and the year 2025, accomplishing a development in camera technology would require two major milestones. The first major achievement is the data transformation from a body part to body part. This involves making the brain an actual database, allowing everything the user’s brain processes to turn into a data in order to make it suitable with OSB. As the precursor of OSB is the digital camera, it equivalently allows consumers to capture still photographs and record videos. Though, its system operation is raised to crucial accessibility for unlimited users, allowing them to take photos straight from their eyes and transfer files to the brain for data processing. Similar to the concept of barcode scanners, the saved files can be scanned using a sensor to capture the reflection of images (Denso wave, 2007). The second milestone is the implantation of the optical serial bus. This involves connecting the microchip to the brain of a human body. The microchip that will be implanted beside the user’s pupil will be small enough to maintain the natural look. It will enable for OSB to receive captured data such as images and videos from the glass lenses and involves information processing by “running a wire from the implant to the nervous system” (Witt, 1999). Microchip implementation will be part of a medical procedure with operations that will help new heights of flexibility and ease-of-use for many users. Through the system of embedded chips, OSB will be highly favourable especially for active groups such as celebrities and athletes. The two major milestones would significantly engage in affecting such evolvement in camera technology.
Rationale
The rationale of the future development in camera technology is derived from the digitized camera. Since the earliest design of the camera obscura had led to the creation of the film camera, film becoming digital was a vital growth of technology. The digitization of film is now leading toward the next logical step, the digitization of optical images in the user’s eyes. Furthermore, the physical parts of the digital camera clearly relate to OSB. The lens simply represents the user’s eyes as the body of the camera signifies the user’s brain system. Since the futuristic camera will be offering more accessibility that digital cameras are unable to give, companies that produce digital cameras will have a dramatic impact as they will be experiencing another tremendous decline in “digicam”(Wikipedia, 2009) products. Most individuals are now going to choose OSB because of its superb versatility. OSB takes these responsibilities to vastly enhanced levels of efficiency and ease, establishing optimal performance.
