Summary Elevators that take you to space, computers that recognise your face, laptops that re-charge themselves as you type... there are some exciting times ahead for the technology we use! FACE RECOGNITIONSay goodbye to passwords and pins- the future may have us using our faces instead. Professor Brian Lovell from the University of Queensland has helped developed a software system that could identify you just by seeing your face.JUNIOR EXPERIMENT: BLUE TOOTHTechnology is part of our everyday lives and Junior Scientist Phoebe tests out a few futuristic technologies that you may find in your home.SPATIAL AUGMENTED REALITYAugmented reality is where the real world and the virtual world come together in an interactive way with the use of technology such as computers, projectors, goggles and mobile phones. Michael Marner from the University of South Australia shows us some very cool ways this technology can be used- which gives us a glimpse into the future of how augmented reality could be used in our every day lives. ERGON PROJECTMonitoring a massive network of power lines is a huge job, but a new project will see innovative technology making this job easier in the future. Project Manager Jim Hagan from Ergon Energy shows us what the project involves, from planes, lasers and 3D mapping.PIEZOELECTRICImagine a world where you don't need to plug your laptop into a power source in order to power it up! This might be possible very soon with the help of piezoelectric technology. Electrical Engineer Madhu Bhaskaran from RMIT University shows us how this future technology works.Join Dr Rob as looks to the future and once again proves that the ordinary becomes extraordinary, under the SCOPE!
