2. Service Computing
An idea that seeks to provide essentially merge
business strategy and IT strategy
This is achieved by the use of Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA)
3. Service-Oriented
Architecture
A design methodology in which the inter-
compatibility of a multitude of separate software
Implementations is exploited to provide the
functionality of a more traditional software
application
Facilitates the exchange of information between
systems without substantial interaction of an
agent required
4. Personal
The most obvious example is that of Software as a
Service (SaaS).
Essentially software 'on-demand'
Compatibility problems essentially erased
Examples Include:
Microsoft Office 365
Google Apps
5. Local
Allows smaller businesses to more easily extend
their reach
Enables these businesses access to the same level
of software as the larger businesses at an
appropriate price
6. Global
Hastens communication and transactions
between multinational businesses, while at the
same time lowering the costs necessary to
facilitate these transactions
Automates processes while allowing changes to
be distributed almost instantaneously
8. Virtual Reality
• Many Applications (Pilot training,
Gaming)
• 360o
visual environment
• Accompanying directional audio
• Experienced through wearable
headset or specially designed
room (360o
Projectors)
9. Motion Sensing
Allows user input through movement
Provides realistic experience (no
controller
Feel like you’re in that world
10. Force Feedback
Provides output from the application directly to the user
New technology allows support for first person shooters
Realistic bullet fire direction, explosion and other
environmental damage feedback
Compressed air impacts to simulate damage
11. Microchips
Quick easy identification
Safe for human use
Can provide information on:
- Allergies,
- medical records,
- personal information,
- contact information
13. Virtual Reality
The visual display of the system provides the user
with an immersive environment for their training to
take place in. It also displays information on local
conditions and communications for use in the
field
Military simulators have many different facets for
training different troops, the system will give
troops a much more immersive experience
helping them learn the best tactics and actions
to improve their effectiveness in the heat of
battle
14. Force Feedback
Force feedback allows the user to feel the
impacts of the environment on their body. This
includes mechanical feedback, sensory
stimulation and visual indicators
An electrified vest provides feeling to indicate the
location of injuries
The VirtuSphere increases rolling resistance to
simulate hills and moving slower over rough
terrain
15. Motion Sensing
The system uses motion sensing technology to
track the user. This can be transmitted in real time
to monitor the user’s behaviour and to allow more
realistic motion based controls in the simulation
The VirtuSphere is fitted to transmit data on the
speed and direction of movement into the
simulation
Kinect video tracking systems provide accurate
information on the movement of individual limbs
to translate complicated gestures into simulated
actions
16. RFID Microchips
Provides easy identification of users and
equipment
Allows for vital information to be passed between
users instantly (Medication, past injuries, next of
kin etc.)
Can allow tracking to reduce incidence of
friendly fire and aid in locating friendly units
RFID chips can be repurposed for many different
tasks, so this one solution will support many future
advancements and technologies
17. Uses
Gaming
Virtual Tours
Private Security
Army Training
Scoring System
Training civilians
Chip insertion for Medics
18. Software
New design of game
3rd
Space game drivers
Softkinect for 3D body tracking
AUTOCAD 3DS MAX
Run on windows
25. Weaknesses
Cost
Over $50 Million all up
Ethical issues with microchips
Privacy
Security
Theft
Travel sickness
Hard to use
26. Viability
Very useful for countries armies
Help improve fitness of population
Saves lives in times of war
Chips help stop criminals
27. Future
Massive increase in online games
More accurate virtual reality
Mind control
Chips
No need for physical money
No need for ID
