Guest Mechanicaldan Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 How close are we to having a Star Trek Universal Communicator? Voice recognition software exists and works pretty decent. Broadband internet access allows for the transmission of lots of data at incredible speeds. Servers can handle massive amounts of data crunching. Mobile phones allow for voice input and output and can use Bluetooth with headsets. What's missing? Is it cost prohibitive?
Guest Monolithix Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Star Trek communicators can be used autonomously, so no need for a supporting network, that mean's they either have very high powered, tiny transmitters, or their receivers are extremely sensitive with a massive SNR (or both). Other than that, we're pretty much there :D
