It's Friday, May 20th, 2016, and despite Google self-driving cars having a pretty clean accident record, there will undoubtedly be a few minor collisions once the fleet is deployed. In an apparent effort to minimize traumatic injuries in such accidents, a recently filed patent suggests that Google might use super sticky car hoods which would effectively trap a hit pedestrian like a fly on fly paper. This idea may seem odd at first, but some experts are suggesting it could actually help reduce injuries by preventing an accident victim from being further injured by hitting the ground or getting struck by another car.
The concept behind this design is to prevent an accident victim from being further injured by hitting the ground or getting struck by another car. Google will not confirm whether this design will actually be implemented, as they often file patents without intending to use them. However, if the so-called "human fly paper" were to be implemented, it's hard not to imagine that it would also trap well actual flies and tons of other bugs and debris for that matter. We're hoping this one stays stuck in the blueprints, rather than becoming a reality.
In related news, IMAX is looking to downsize its experience while still making it as impressive, if not more so, than before. They are working with a company called Star Breeze to make premium destination-based VR experiences that will get customers off the couch and into their theaters. These experiences will likely include grabbing one of their greasy $12 buckets of popcorn. Star Breeze is not as familiar a name in VR as HTC or Oculus, but they make an impressive ultrawide field of view VR headset with a 5k display called the Star VR 210. This headset will now be the official VR headset of IMAX.
It's unclear exactly what IMAX's new VR experience might entail and whether it will include more traditional large-scale screens. However, it's safe to bet that eating popcorn while immersed in a VR universe will be tricky and probably messy. The use of VR technology in theaters is an exciting development, as it promises to take the viewing experience to new heights.
