- mattkrause 8y agoMRI is crazy expensive, but you only really need $4M for the scanner, so doable for indie rom-come as well as blockbusters!
- snaky 8y agoMRI market is very small and regulated as of today. Wider adoption of reasonably simpler devices would change everything, just recall how crazy expensive computers were in 1950s. Among useful applications I would imagine, for example, the fast image-based information retrieval - e.g. useful for recommendation systems (in other words - Netflix could invest in a 'imagine anything and we find you a movie like that').
- mattkrause 8y agoMaybe, but I think if it happens at all, it's going to use some other form of neuroimaging. MRI needs a lot of power, a shielded room, strong magnetic fields (which are both annoying and dangerous). Many of these are physical constraints rather than just...where the market happens to be.
- trashtester 8y agoThe critical component is your imagination. If your imagination is at that level, you are likely to be successful in Holywood,even today. But I think the greatest utility of this tech is not in the movie industry, but in the gaming industry. Imagine a photo realistic version of sims where your family and friends know EXACTLY how to react to maximize your sense of meaning, happiness, enjoyment in precisely the way that is needed in order to prevent you from leaving the game?
