These remote devices
are mainly machines to enhance sight without a directly concerned observer.
They are either involved to perceive something not visible to the pure human
eye - satellites, endoscopy, ... or to see instead of an observer - surveillance,
..., where it is not that important if there is one or not. Some other applications
operate only with computatorial skills not easily comprehensible for humans
- biometrics, ...and so on.
It has to be kept in mind, that what can be seen is a still a 'question
about who is allowed to look, to what purposes, and by what academic and
state discourses it is legitimated.' And ' that what the eye purportedly
'sees' is dictated to it by an entire set of beliefs and desires and by
a set of coded languages and generic apparatuses.'
Mainly based on 'reality' videodata:
- TV
- webcams
- surveillance cameras / CCTV
- satellilites
- smart machines
- smart bombs / cameras on bombs
- cameras on guns
- radar
- scanning systems
- ray tracking
- autotracking systems / videotracking
- motion control / infrared-shooting systems
- texture mapping
- computervision: robots /
pattern recognition
- biometric systems: facerecognition /
irisscan
- endoscopy
Related Devices:
Based on diverse 'reality' data (audio, video)
- Multispectral sensors
- GPS (Global Positioning System)
Mixing virtual and 'reality' data:
- Simulation systems (flight, car)
- VR helmets
(Therefore it simply would be too much I will not add sensors and similar
devices.)
