Artificial intelligence
AI is a computer science that is focused on creating

computer systems that simulate human intelligence.

AI is the intelligence exhibited by machines or

software.

AI is being developed in the following areas:

Game Playing: Strategy Games
Expert Systems: Diagnostic &
Decision Making Systems
Natural Language Processing
Robotics

Vision enhancement
Vision Enhancement is ability to see objects with

enhanced clarity and various effects.

It is of two types
Low Vision Enhancement Systems (LVES): It improves
the vision by projecting clearer and larger images and
videos in a headset.
Night Vision Enhancement (NVE): Amplifies infrared
and visible light so that images can be seen in darkness.
Thermo graphic cameras are also used to detect heat
coming from various objects.

Quantum cryptography
Cryptography is the science of making a message

unintelligible to any unauthorized user.

Quantum Cryptography is a technique that allows data to

be sent with complete privacy by using photons for

encryption instead of mathematical techniques.

QC Impacts on everyday life

Completely Secure:
Voting: Votes cannot be tampered with
Communication: Specially military and confidential
communication.
Bank Transfers: All money transactions over the internet
can be made more secure.
Personal information: Health records, bank details,
biometrics can be kept secure from intruders.

Computer assisted
translation (CAT)
CAT is a form of language translation in which a human

translator uses computer software to support and

facilitate the translation process.
Eg - Language search engine software (Google translate)

Tools used:
Terminology Databases: They grow and learn from
translations been carried out.
Translation Memories: Insert known translations
automatically.
Spell Checkers: To correct errors.

3D & HI impacts on everyday life

Greater data storage using holographic computer

memories. A crystal the size of sugar cube can store up

to 1TB.
Better movie and gaming experience with the use of
special effects.
Improved medical diagnostics: Medical imaging tools are
used to see internal structures of the body.

Rfid Radio frequency identification

RFID Readers use radio waves to read and capture

information stored on a tag.

RFID Tag stores digital data. It comprises of 2 parts:
Microchip: To store & process information
Antenna: To receive & transmit data

RFID tags can be read up to 300 feet away.

Tags are battery powered or passive.
