Ian Pearson (Ian Pearson)
It may seem that Ian Pearson profession is built on the verbiage, non-obviousness, and other obscure methods, which is teeming with palmistry, ESP, astrology. In fact it is not. Its conclusions on the future of technology Dr. Pearson supports a strong scientific base (degree in physics and mathematics, invention), an analysis of global trends and common sense. Engineer making inferences about the future based on what we see today. For example, if someone invests heavily in the development of a specific technology, and there is no obvious obstacles (political, economic, social) on the way to success, futurologist gives prediction: the development of "shoot" and accustomed.
Ian Pearson recently spoke about his vision of an ordinary bathroom in 2025 and 2040, respectively. His ideas seemed to me very interesting, so I decided to tell you about them.
2025
After 10 years, the concept of the Internet of things (Internet of Things, IoT) will be an integral part of our lives. People will be able to manage not only the bathroom with a mobile phone, but also with other smart things, the number of which will even wearable jewelry.
identification system will provide instant personalization preferences and environment according to the person's mood. For example, the screens on the walls and windows will create a virtual invigorating or relaxing atmosphere, depending on the situation. For example, some wall and floor tiles act as displays and speakers, together creating an effect of total immersion. At the request of the ordinary taking a shower will give the feeling of bathing under streams of the picturesque waterfall.
Smart mirror will perform a health check and give advice on make-up. They will build the highest resolution camera that can examine your skin in great detail, highlight its flaws, recommend cosmetic products or procedures to correct them as well as give advice on the conduct or diet. retinal scan point to a number of diseases. Sensors of the chemical composition of breath to perform daily health checks. Mats replace our scales.
If necessary, the mirror can be used for remote examination of patients by doctors, and clients - beauty consultant. Mirrors for download from the funds samples to make vendor-specific and then impose them on the reflection face. Of course, in the same way people will be able to try on new clothes, jewelry, or hairstyle. People with poor eyesight will be able to look at myself without glasses. Thus, the bathroom becomes almost the main center for shopping.
Even today, the smart toilets are able to analyze the chemical composition of faeces. In 2025, they spread everywhere and acquire UV lamps that will not leave a chance to the microbes to survive even under the rim - they simply die.
If desired, ultraviolet light will kill the infection in the absence of people and across the room. In general, sterility 24/7.
The complex of such measures will be promoted by governments and insurers, because early disease prevention reduces the cost of treatment.
It is also important that the bathrooms will be sold in the form of ready-made factory units. Their installation is simple and quick. In the event of a breakdown or the need to improve the individual parts can be replaced easily. All thanks to the modular system, for example, as in the upcoming Project Ara phones.
2040
Further more. By 2040, some bathroom items will print the 3D-printer for maximum customer satisfaction. Some of them, such as the toilet, can change shape to adapt to the anatomy of each individual. Smart backlight depending on the position of people will light up or dim the lights in different areas of the room.
The virtual environment will be an extremely important part of life for future generations. Graphene chips implanted in the skin of a person, to connect with his nervous system. So we will be able to record or play back a wide variety of sensations, moreover, they will be no worse than natural.
Makeup also evolves and becomes smart. Its self-assembling particles immediately adapted to the location of the face and change its color. Beauty and the handsome just smear the composition of the skin, choose a mirror through your favorite combination of shadows, powder and lipstick, and a clever makeup to make the picture a reality. It can change as often as required during the day. Mirrors will crack up people for a successful "coloring" or warn if they got excited.
Diagnosis of diseases will move into the hands of artificial intelligence, who will know all about us: the image of a person's life, the level of physical activity, nutrition, DNA, a complete medical history, as well as information about the analyzes received from various sensors. Complete the picture data from the nerve endings and capillaries, a matter of using the subcutaneous chips.
Electronic soft fiber mats and towels will be able to control the electrical signals of the body for medical purposes. Transcranial magnetic stimulation will give a feeling of complete relaxation.
Clean and maintain the bath of the future will be robots. They also have a massage, swim child or tweak manicure.
During the conditioning of the bathroom remove odors, bacteria and pollen, saturating the air with negative ions and aroma. Flies and mosquitoes get shot with laser guns. Ultraviolet treatment facilities will be complemented by the plasma sterilization. Dirty water purified by the filter graphene and reused.
conclusion
This concept is represented by Ian Pearson, in a joint project with the British manufacturer of sanitary ware. With such a bold look, you can argue, disagree, do not understand it, but I still want to, he came to life as soon as possible, is not it?
