Translocation. A new definition

Translocation.

A new definition.

First steps towards real world teleportation.

The official definition is …

The movement of something from one place to another.

Examples:

‘from the nestlings, 20 birds were available for translocation annually’

‘tissue can become infected by translocation of bacteria from the gut’

count noun ‘a reciprocal translocation has occurred between two chromosomes’

‘The other problem to consider is the impact of translocation on resident leopards.’

‘Fundamental to the recovery program is the translocation of squirrels off the refuge to suitable sites.’

‘Translocation is usually used to augment the population of endangered animals.’

‘Intact foliage and root systems are needed for complete translocation.’

‘Chromosomal translocations are known to contribute to the development or progression of many types of cancer.’

My suggestion is that we can translocate our consciousnous whilst staying in the same place and using robots at the destination using almost total immersion.

For example building on the moon, mars, deep sea exploration.

Imagine instead of teleporting or travelling to an area we put on a VR suit and experience somewhere remotely.

It is really just an extension of existing robotic remote control or drones. With deeper immersion for the remote operator. Instead of using a joystick and cameras a form of bodysuit and vr. With more advanced robotics to allow for natural arm movements.

The key predicted problems are lag and communication interference.

This can hopefully be mitigated with a certain amount of localised AI assistance.

Another way to mitigate lag would be to use 360 cameras to allow for natural real time head movements by the operator. So at any given moment they can look around with no lag.

I can foresee a warehouse of operators building things remotely and helping each other out when problems occur. Each operator could be supported by a few support staff bringing in filtered input from the real world to counter the isolation of total immersion.

Almost total immersion would probably help concentration on specific tasks.
