terminator cyborg point of view data feed


updated and dynamic, the Terminators from the Sarah Connor Chronicles have animated graphics as well as text readout. check out the show web site for a dynamic animation using the same kind of display graphics.


the classic, the original, the governator at his best.


who could resist terminator vs. robocop? yes, it's just gratuitous at this point.

I am including these screenshots from the terminator's point of view with this thought. the idea of displaying data as it is read was well imagined in the terminator movies. but imagine a future where humans can augment their natural sight with display devices that read and interpret deeper meaning to what is seen. for example, a surgeon could use a visual display that allowd them to see what is happening inside of a brain on superimposed on top of their regular vision.

That reminds me of the apache heads-up targeting. Just a tad scary, but it's interesting to note that a being would have to have extremely high cognitive ability to read that fast.
