Engineering the Force From Star Wars
What if the iconic tech from Star Wars wasn't just science fiction anymore? Believe it or not, engineers are turning pieces of the Star Wars universe into reality, including the Force! From mind-controlled gadgets to real-life lightsabers, these innovations are pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Ready to explore how fantasy is becoming fact? Let's dive into six groundbreaking ways Star Wars lore is being brought to life by engineers across the world. No Jedi training required!
1. The Force
This headset uses IBM software, electroencephalography, and the Internet of Things to let users move objects with their minds. No joystick or Jedi training required!
2. Lightsaber
These engineers used liquid propane gas and laminar flow to make a retractable, plasma-based Lightsaber that cuts through metal. It can even change colors, depending on where your loyalties lie.
3. Han Solo's Blaster
Unfortunately, this still doesn't tell us who shot first.
4. Landspeeder
Soon you'll be able to fly through the desert (or your neighborhood) at 150 mph!
5. Dejarik (Holochess)
This holographic game system uses AR to bring your favorite board games to life. However, we still suggest you let the Wookiee win.
In a world where science fiction increasingly becomes science fact, innovations inspired by Star Wars are pushing the boundaries of engineering. From mind-controlled devices to retractable plasma-based lightsabers, engineers are turning these iconic pieces of lore into reality.
