Re: [Yasmin_discussions] AROUND SIMULATION and Tim

Dear All,

I wanted to remind you of the technological idea of Claytronics, programmable
matter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJEMfAg5l2w

Do you think that one day
such technology might allow us to have 'real' Avatars, allowing us to create
semi VR humanoids to prepare Mars for a physical colonization?

Might it work like current technologies used for filming for VR
realities? We might have a VR simulation
of environments of Mars, and by capturing human movement, like is being
done for movies like Avatar, be able to move materials with these
nanoscale robots on the real Mars...with a time difference
ofcourse...but that wouldn't really matter would it...?
