Extended Reality

Metaverse

A persistent, shared virtual world where users interact through avatars using VR, AR, and other immersive technologies.

Augmented Reality

Technology overlaying digital information onto the real world through devices like smartphones or smart glasses.

Virtual Reality

A simulated experience using headsets to create an immersive, computer-generated three-dimensional environment.

Mixed Reality

Technology blending physical and digital worlds where real and virtual objects co-exist and interact in real time.

Spatial Computing

Technology that enables digital content to interact with the physical world, understanding 3D space and context.

Brain-Computer Interface

A direct communication pathway between the brain's electrical activity and an external computing device.

Ambient Intelligence

Electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people, adapting to their needs.

Technologies developed for space exploration and utilisation including satellites, launch systems, and space stations.

AI systems that can create new content including text, images, music, code, and video from learned patterns.

A model where individuals own and control their digital identity without relying on centralised authorities.

Computing architectures inspired by the structure and function of biological neural networks.

The convergence of biological sciences with computational methods and AI to accelerate drug discovery, protein design, genomic analysis, and synthetic biology applications.

Energy produced by fusing light atomic nuclei, potentially providing nearly limitless clean energy.

An approach to innovation that anticipates and addresses ethical, social, and environmental implications proactively.

Using photons (light particles) instead of electrons for data processing, potentially offering massive speed improvements.
