Computer chip with 5 senses!!-Is it real ?

Have you ever wished that your phone talks like an actual person? Imagine, if your computer could interact with you in such a way that it conveyed logic as well as emotions? If, when taking a selfie, your phone told you that those shoes DO NOT go with that outfit? Incredible, isn’t it? Well then, this dream-like fantasy is about to become a reality. Because the latest revolution in this area of technology is a stepping stone to just that.

Experts have managed to develop a chip that is capable of detecting the five senses, similar to how a human brain can. This contraption is remarkably identical to the human brain, being capable of sensing what is around it by sight, sound, smell, touch, and even taste. What’s even more exceptional is the fact that similar to a human brain, the power consumption of this chip is ultra low, which makes integrating it into everyday hardware very easy. Even though it is still in its early stages of development, the potential of this tech exceeds all previously known advancements.
Simply put, it can see, hear, feel and even smell and taste. Apparently, the technical intricacies behind such a feat are obscure and rather complicated, the implications and repercussions of this are colossal.

Simply put, this technology helps to bridge the gap between human brain and computers, which in effect means that computers become more aware of how we, the living users perceive the world. This is an enormous leap in technology. How does this help us, you ask? Simple. Just like we told you when we started, this enables the machine to behave more human. This helps you to have a phone which, in addition to being able to perform all its previous functions, is now also equipped to approach and analyze a problem to solve it in such a way that it also accommodates human needs and wants too. This means that your phone can sense and can be programmed to remember your preferences and act or respond accordingly.

Uses of this include not just daily life, but also fields like Medicine, Engineering, Military, Communication, pretty much anything and everything you can think about. A robot which can take real-time decisions during a procedure, a system which checks for errors during work, a drone that is genuinely unmanned- which doesn’t need a human controller in any form, the possibilities are endless. These are just the large scale and professional applications. Let’s talk about how this affects you, up close and personal.

Coming to all our daily lives, this just means that systems that we use every day become a lot more intelligent and perceptive our needs. Like a phone that calls the doctor when it detects that the user is sick. Or a computer that helps you choose when you shop online. An oven that can identify what’s cooking and modify its settings accordingly. A coffee maker who knows how you like your coffee. Hell, a house that has your own personal JARVIS! Sounds inconceivable, doesn’t it? Well, not really. Since the essential requirement for this use case has already been achieved.

Well, it looks like our dream is a lot closer to reality now. We are closer to having our own personal artificial butler. A system that can sense and perceive as our brain does is undoubtedly the beginning. The beginning of a new era. And we have a front row seat to the grand coronation of this. So sit back, relax and wait for the show. Or better yet, be a part of this technological revolution.
