Imagine yourself sitting in a theatre. Imagine watching the best movie of the 21'st century with all the hullaballoo about it's mind boggling special effects never seen in the past. Now imagine that while in the theatre you can be a part of the movie. Is it possible?
A scene in the movie shows a ravenous creature with gigantic teeth and deathly claws flying around in a city you are familiar with destroying whatever comes in its way- Yes the coffee shop you like, the restaurant you adore, and the pub where you kill your time. Now imagine a chance to save the city while you're in the theatre. Imagine riding that mythical creature while you are in your seat. And now imagine the person sitting next to you is playing the creature.
It is possible. The advent of the nanotechnology is changing everything from science to society at such a rapid pace that we won't be able to guess when we would become addicted to it. From micro-machines to human machine interfaces, nanotechnology can provide us with such unimaginable solutions which were a mere dream even for the generations of last few decades. The fantasy that we started with is just a trailer of what waylay us in the near future. The introduction of 3D cinemas combined with the output of the nano-science can turn around the whole world of experience and the way we perceive it. In the near future we will experience the magic of 3d world packed with nanoparticles. This would make us capable of not only watching a movie but in-fact feeling it, emotionally and physically. The idea behind this experiment sprouts from the biological organization of the human body. Our bodies are packed with multimillion sensors generating huge data every second. The possibility of affecting the generation of this data from outside can prove to be the game point for us.
Whatever information we process in our brain comes from the outside world and specifically via the sensors which are naturally installed in our bodies in the correct places. What nanotechnology aim at is to capture the right kind of sensor with the right kind of nano-particle so as to generate the specific sensation as would be produced on any normal day, at any normal time. Every particle would be programmed to generate a particular signal for the sensor it caters to and thereby generating an exact sensation. Take for instance the feeling of hotness or coldness. The chilled air affects our sensors to make us believe that something is happening. How? Let's see. Whenever we come in contact of anything that is not usual we tend to react in a particular way. But most of the human beings are programmed in similar ways and that's why we all have similar feelings of joy, anger, pain, anxiety, etc. Thus, if a nanoparticle were capable of stimulating our sensors in such a way that it produces the same effect on our sensors then we would feel the same thing without having undergone the same situations. For example the temperature particles would be programmed to affect the sensors to produce the most common human feelings. The place for such a revolutionary experiment can be a big cinema hall where a billion computer programmed particles will remain suspended in air. They will have the capacity to flow from point to point in the form of horizontal layers depending upon the functions they perform. There can be thousands of layers depending upon the quality of sensation generated during the movie and also on the cost of the tickets that you have paid. All the particles will be programmed instantly to be in symphony with the movie's mood and atmosphere.
If the hero of the movie is riding a horse through the sahara desert taking the most beautiful women at the back, you would be able to feel the warmth of the rising sand pushed by the Mediterranean sea breeze as it blows in the vast unending barren land; or you could feel the icy breeze of the alps as our hero fights the heinous villains while skiing down the deadly terrain. What else could be more exciting If you are able to fly on the fantasy creature from AVATAR watching everything from the eyes of the lead character jack sully. What else if you get a chance to switch characters from your personal device choosing between the different views of the movie. The movies in these cases would be designed using the video game technology that provides various viewing angles during the game play. And yes they would cost a hell lot of money to the producers. So next time when you buy your tickets for the new sensation of the box office be sure to check if it is nano enabled.
