Fifth Horizon

Page history last edited by joel.garreau@asu.edu 14 years, 2 months ago

What is the item The Fifth Horizon is where one will typically find outfits like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In this time frame, no one knows if the project will work, but big money is being thrown at it. A current example might be the DARPA attempt to create Synthetic Telepathy -- direct mind-to-mind communication, via a computer-enhanced helmet. In The Fifth Horizon, depending on research success and levels of funding, the product might be available in from five years to never. An example of a product that went from Fifth Horizon to ubiquitous, relatively fast, would be Predator-style flying robots. In the '90s, they were still largely science fiction. In 2009, the U.S. Air Force for the first time trained more jockeys of flying robots than conventional pilots.
