Impact of emerging technologies:

Some of the new technologies:

1. Artificial intelligence(AI) biometrics

2. Vision enhancement
3. Robotics
4. Quantum cryptography
5. Computer assisted translation (CAT)
6. 3-D and holographic imaging
7. Virtual reality

1. Artificial intelligence(AI) biometrics

In biometric technology finger print identification fails and person gets

rejected due to no match in database. Artificial intelligence(AI)
biometrics overcomes this problem using dynamic profiling. Here it
learns finger prints on every scan and now person need not place finger
in the exact same place of the scanner.
Same problem with facial recognition systems, computers get confused
for soft biometric changes. Hence AI are used to solve this problem.

2. Vision enhancement
a. Low-vision enhancement system (LVES) use vedio technology
through head sets.
b. Night vision enhancement (NVE) amplifies infrared light and
visible light so that image can be seen in darkness. The dim light
source is captured and passed through an image intensifier tube,
 which converts the light into electrons. The electrons pass through
another tube and gets several times amplified the original number
of electrons. A screen at the end of the tube is coated in phosphor
dots that glow when electrons collide and this results in an image
that is clear than original.

3. Robotics
a. Used in Manufacturing industry

1. Car factory : to weld car bodies, spray body panels, fit items
2. Drones: used by military and civilians
3. Doctors: surgical purposes
