"Ultrasound can do a whole lot more than create images of unborn babies. Since it first became a near-indispensable medical tool in the 1930s, technology that produces sound waves so high-pitched that humans can't hear them has found use in almost every branch of industry. The vibrations it creates can kill bacteria, weld plastics and even help to mature brandies in a matter of days rather than years. Today, ultrasound is finding its way into even more applications, powering inventions that have the potential to make huge changes in their fields. Here are just a few of them…"

VR already has a lot of haptic capabilities. These advances would increase quality, resolution, and coverage simultaneously. Interesting there was nothing about weapons. The "tractor beam" (technically a repulsor beam) hinted at the potential damage caused by large sonic fields. Personally, I'm waiting for the sonic screwdriver. One tool, no attachments. Phillips, flathead, hex bolt, allen screw, wingnut, quad bolt, nail (roofing, finishing, brad, etc.). And, of course, the ability to use my full hands to sculpt something really big, then use the tool to shape greenstuff at small scale. |
