From Celluloid Fantasies to Tangible Technologies: A Journey of Transformation

Metaverse and virtual reality (VR)

A multitude of individuals, particularly avid gamers, desire to plunge into a digital realm where they can become whatever they envision, akin to fantasy movies and animations, such as “Ready Player One” and “Sword Art Online”.

Enabled by the internet, VR and AR, individuals can select their avatar and find enjoyment in the digital domain. They may utilize VR goggles and various other devices to experience a complete virtual immersion.

Personal air vehicle (PAV)

Some property developers hold the belief that in the near future, individuals will construct their homes and structures in the sky, utilizing vehicles that allow them to navigate through the air reminiscent of a 1960s animation, “The Jetsons”.

Several corporations, including the US-based multinational automotive and clean energy firm Tesla, are currently progressing in the development of PAVs to refine future transportation.

Robots

Robots, which have been portrayed in numerous science fiction films, animations, and games, were challenging to create in the past. Nonetheless, this technology now significantly contributes to various industries.

People across numerous nations, including Thailand, will be able to witness robotic servers in dining establishments. Two Chinese automobile manufacturers – BYD and Nio – announced last December that they had integrated humanoids into vehicle manufacturing.

The humanoid referred to as “Walker S1” was created by the Chinese startup UBTech Robotics, which possesses the ability to interact with humans, lift objects, and assess product quality.
