00;00;00;00 - 00;00;08;06
Speaker 1
Hey, chat, I'm recording this for a podcast. Is that okay?
00;00;08;09 - 00;00;14;27
Speaker 2
Of course. That's totally fine. I'm here to help, so just let me know what you need and we'll make it awesome.
00;00;14;29 - 00;00;42;15
Speaker 1
Okay, so we did, a story about Carol, the frontline journalist and independent consultant, and her mobile set up, I think, two episodes ago. Can you kind of take this thread and summarize it into a 1 to 2 minute briefing for if anybody hasn't, been caught up on that conversation?
00;00;42;17 - 00;01;14;21
Speaker 2
Absolutely. So, Carol, is this innovative frontline journalist and independent consultant who operates out of a custom high tech mobile command center that she and her partner Alex put together. They basically converted a school bus into a roving newsroom equipped with drones, cameras and AI powered systems. This setup lets them quickly deploy to hotspots, whether it's a wildfire, a conflict zone, or even something like an archeology site, and gather real time intelligence.
00;01;14;24 - 00;01;41;01
Speaker 2
The drones drop cameras and microphones across the area, and all that data gets fed back into their mobile hub. The AI processes everything in real time, giving them and any collaborators on the ground a clear picture of what's happening. If they're really flexible, forward thinking approach to journalism, blending technology with on the ground reporting to get the story out quickly and accurately.
00;01;41;03 - 00;01;49;16
Speaker 1
Can you be a little bit specific about the capabilities of her set up?
00;01;49;19 - 00;02;18;19
Speaker 2
Absolutely. So Carol's set up is pretty impressive and versatile. The school bus they converted serves as a mobile command center equipped with high performance computers and AI software to process data in real time. They use drones that can be quickly deployed from the bus, and these drones are equipped with cameras and microphones. The drones can drop small, lightweight cameras or sensors in specific locations, creating a network of real time surveillance.
00;02;18;22 - 00;02;48;01
Speaker 2
All that data gets fed back to the bus where the AI analyzes it, identifying patterns, spotting potential dangers, or highlighting key areas of interest. This allows Carol to get a comprehensive view of whatever situation they're covering and provide real time intelligence to first responders, humanitarian groups, or anyone else who needs it. It's all about turning raw data into actionable insights quickly and efficiently.
00;02;48;03 - 00;03;01;23
Speaker 1
Okay, can you give us some specific data that we, discuss on her budget and the range and density of her coverage?
00;03;01;25 - 00;03;31;15
Speaker 2
Sure thing. So Carol and Alex were working with a budget of around $1 million for their entire set up. They ended up spending about 685,000, which covered things like the outfitted bus, drones, cameras and all the AI equipment in terms of coverage they have about 1800 active cameras and sensors at any given time because they rotate and recharge them in phases with a dense set up, placing a camera about every 100 yards.
00;03;31;22 - 00;03;51;18
Speaker 2
They can cover roughly 2.8mi² with those 1800 cameras. If they spread them out a bit more, say, every 200 yards, they can cover about 11mi². This gives them the flexibility to adapt to different environments and needs, whether it's a tight focus area or a broader region.
00;03;51;20 - 00;04;14;04
Speaker 1
Okay, can you give me an idea of what, can, in frontline distance as well as the 2.8mi² and 11mi² kind of give us a, an idea of what that is in, and compared to something real.
00;04;14;07 - 00;04;48;02
Speaker 2
Absolutely. To put those coverage areas into perspective, 2.8mi² is roughly the size of Central Park in New York City. It's also comparable to about 1800 football fields, so it's a pretty dense coverage area, perfect for a focused, detailed operation. 11mi² is about the size of a small city like Santa Monica, California. Another way to look at it is that it's around 7000 football fields, so it's a much broader area that allows for a wider range of coverage.
00;04;48;02 - 00;04;56;02
Speaker 2
This would be great for monitoring larger regions or multiple points of interest at what?
00;04;56;04 - 00;05;24;14
Speaker 1
Okay. Why don't we pick a specific use? I think last time we picked a firefighter and, also maybe somebody in a war time. Why don't we take this and let's say that we kind of give this data. That is been right. So from the top of the funnel, we have all this camera, audio data coming in from the front lines.
00;05;24;17 - 00;06;04;26
Speaker 1
It feeds into the bus, which has an AI system which feeds it back out to people on the ground. So let's say that we have a, un medic or maybe like, Red cross medic. He is equipped with the newest air, glasses. And he kind of has, like a heads up display, almost like a video game of where that he needs to pay attention to.
00;06;04;28 - 00;06;30;13
Speaker 2
That sounds like a really cool application. So imagine this medic on the ground, equipped with these AR glasses that connect directly to Carol and Alex's data feed. As the medic moves through the area, the glasses overlay real time information on his field of vision. He can see safe paths highlighted, get alerts if there's danger nearby, and even see markers for where injured civilians are located.
00;06;30;13 - 00;06;50;10
Speaker 2
Based on the AI analysis, it's almost like having a live map and guide right in front of him, helping him navigate quickly and safely. This kind of setup would be a game changer in a chaotic environment. Ensuring that the medic can provide help was needed most without wasting any time.
00;06;50;12 - 00;07;33;16
Speaker 1
Okay, that is a great description. But to get a real feel for it, I think we need to step in to, first shoes. Let's say that her name is Cindy. And she is a, Red cross medic, and she is in Georgia. The, the not the American state, but the country of Georgia. She I don't know if they're in a war or anything like that right now, but let's let's say she's in an Eastern Europe and she is, out.
00;07;33;18 - 00;07;54;22
Speaker 1
Doing her job. Let's, let's let's really get kind of into her head and, let's use first person present tense to, kind of tell her fictional story. Let's say it's fictional.
00;07;54;24 - 00;08;18;19
Speaker 2
Got it. So here we go. I slip on my AR glasses and step out of the makeshift medical tent into the chilly air of Eastern Europe. My name is Cindy, and I'm here with the Red cross, navigating a region that's recently seen unrest. As I look around, my glasses highlight the safest path through the streets, marking potential hazards and guiding me toward the next aid station.
00;08;18;21 - 00;08;46;09
Speaker 2
In the corner of my vision, a notification pops up. A cluster of civilians in need of medical attention is just a few blocks away. The eye and Caroline, Alex's mobile command center, has pinpointed their location using the network of cameras and microphones placed around the area. I follow the highlighted route, confident that I'm avoiding danger zones, and can focus on reaching those who need help as quickly as possible every step of the way.
00;08;46;09 - 00;08;54;20
Speaker 2
I know I have a whole team behind me, making sure I can do my job safely and effectively.
00;08;54;23 - 00;09;02;29
Speaker 1
And how would your job be different without this technology?
00;09;03;01 - 00;09;19;12
Speaker 2
Without this technology, Cindy would have to rely heavily on traditional maps, radio communication, and maybe even word of mouth directions, which could be slow and sometimes inaccurate. Navigating through potentially dangerous areas would take a lot more time and caution.
00;09;19;12 - 00;09;53;29
Speaker 1
We're going to do, and she's going to stop right there, and we're going to do the same thing that we did, where it's first person present perspective. And let's say that we are, a new rookie medic. And we are working with Cindy and we both have AR glasses. And Cindy comes from kind of an era before these glasses where, this situation then was very different.
00;09;54;02 - 00;10;17;16
Speaker 1
But we're both learning it now, and we have just been, dropped in and we are in a Jeep with a local driver, and he is bringing us as safe as he can drive. Locally.
00;10;17;18 - 00;10;45;23
Speaker 2
Got it. Let's dive into that perspective. I adjust my AR glasses as we bump along in the Jeep, feeling a mix of excitement and nerve, Cindy sits next to me, expressing calm and focused, a stark contrast to the jittery energy I'm feeling. The scenery outside is a blur of unfamiliar streets and buildings, but through the lenses of the glasses, I can see a clear overlay of directions and points of interest that guide us forward.
00;10;45;25 - 00;11;12;26
Speaker 2
Cindy leans over slightly and gives me a reassuring smile. You're doing great, she says, her voice calm. Back in the day, we had to rely on paper maps and a lot of guesswork. This tech really changes everything. I nod, feeling a bit more at ease, knowing that even a seasoned medic like Cindy appreciates what we have now. The AI display shows a blinking icon ahead, a location where medical supplies are needed.
00;11;12;28 - 00;11;15;10
Speaker 2
It's our first stop. And.
00;11;15;13 - 00;11;41;13
Speaker 1
I'm going to stop you right there. You're doing a good job, but we're kind of. We're kind of, telling this story instead of, like, showing what's happening. So instead of being like, oh, Cindy did this or Cindy did that, I want you to show me, what they're feeling and kind of what their thoughts are.
00;11;41;13 - 00;11;47;09
Speaker 1
But through their actions.
00;11;47;11 - 00;12;13;16
Speaker 2
Got it. That makes perfect sense. Let's dive into that feeling more directly. The Jeep jolts over a pothole, and I tighten my grip on the side, trying to steady my breathing. The AR glasses flicker for a second, then settle back into clarity, outlining a route through the narrow streets. I glance at Cindy, who is scanning the area calmly, her eyes following the virtual markers that hover over buildings and alleys.
00;12;13;18 - 00;12;36;14
Speaker 2
My heart races as we approach our first stop, a small courtyard where a group of civilians are waiting. The glasses highlight each person, providing quick notes on their condition. I can feel the adrenaline, but there's also a sense of reassurance knowing that I'm not going in blind. Cindy gives me a nod and together we hop out, ready to do what we came here for.
00;12;36;17 - 00;12;42;16
Speaker 2
Guided by this incredible tech that helps us focus on saving lives.
00;12;42;18 - 00;13;00;05
Speaker 1
Okay, so let's say we step out of the Jeep and really put us in, space. With all these people and tell us what the glasses are telling us.
00;13;00;07 - 00;13;26;19
Speaker 2
As we step out of the Jeep, the AR glasses immediately begin to overlay information onto the scene in front of us. Each person in the courtyard is highlighted with a small tag indicating their condition, green for stable, yellow for needing attention and red for urgent care. A quick glance shows me a highlighted panel directing us first to a woman sitting on the ground marked in yellow, who looks like she has an injured leg.
00;13;26;21 - 00;13;48;24
Speaker 2
The glasses also show small icons for medical supplies that have been requested, ensuring we know exactly what to bring and who'd. With this first, it feels like having an extra set of eyes and a guide all at once, making sure we can move efficiently and help as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time.
00;13;48;27 - 00;14;43;21
Speaker 1
Yeah, in the glasses, probably like keep tabs on people. So like, you see somebody for a second and it kind of tracks them. So you can kind of like the I can almost read the vibe like if you're feeling, if it can sense, if you're being surrounded or if there's a lot of new people that just showed up or that kind of thing, the kind of thing that we, if you've honed it, can you can kind of have like, Sixth Sense for it, but the eye can kind of, not only give everybody this, but also really sharpen it and give us more energy to focus.
00;14;43;23 - 00;15;07;08
Speaker 2
Absolutely. That's such a cool layer to add. It's like having a sixth sense, but enhanced by AI. So as Cindy and I move through the courtyard, the glasses keep track of everyone we see, even if they slip out of our direct line of sight. If a crowd starts to form, or if there's any unusual movement, the eye suddenly highlights it, giving us that extra awareness.
00;15;07;10 - 00;15;26;13
Speaker 2
It's almost like the technology sharpens our instincts, letting us focus entirely on helping people while it handles the background awareness. It's a game changer for staying safe and focused in such a dynamic environment.
00;15;26;15 - 00;15;43;01
Speaker 1
Let's, let's dig a little bit deeper into how something like this, can be an on the ground awareness, a personal awareness aid.
00;15;43;03 - 00;16;19;13
Speaker 2
Absolutely. This kind of technology really transformed personal awareness on the ground. For example, if Cindy and the rookie medic are moving through an unfamiliar or potentially risky area, the AR glasses can provide subtle alerts if someone is approaching from behind or if there's a sudden increase in activity around them. The AI can analyze patterns of movement and even pick up on subtle cues, like a crowd gathering or someone acting suspiciously, and give Cindy a heads up before he even realizes it herself.
00;16;19;15 - 00;16;42;26
Speaker 2
This kind of heightened awareness helps them stay one step ahead of any potential danger, and allows them to focus on their mission with more confidence and peace of mind. It's like having a trusted companion who is always looking out for them, making sure they stay safe and aware in any situation.
00;16;42;28 - 00;16;56;18
Speaker 1
What kind of, counter intelligence do you think exists to, a system kind of like this?
00;16;56;20 - 00;17;35;13
Speaker 2
That's a great question. A system like this could definitely face, countermeasures. For example, adversaries might try using signal jammers to disrupt the communication between the cameras, the drones, and the AR glasses. They could also attempt to flood the system with false data, creating fake signals or decoys to confuse the AI and the medics on the ground. Another possibility is the use of camouflage or other visual tricks to avoid detection by the cameras, and on a more digital format, someone could try hacking into the system to manipulate the data or even shut it down entirely.
00;17;35;15 - 00;17;47;00
Speaker 2
It's definitely a constant game of staying one step ahead and keeping the system secure and resilient.
00;17;47;03 - 00;18;21;04
Speaker 1
And also stuff like maybe, the glasses can potentially sense, others can can a pair of glasses sends a signal around it, or do we have technology that is, small enough to put into a pair of glasses that will kind of play that role of sensing other devices?
00;18;21;07 - 00;18;49;24
Speaker 2
Absolutely. That's definitely possible. Modern AR glasses could have built in sensors like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi scanning capabilities that can detect other devices nearby. They could even pick up on signals from other AR glasses, smartphones or wearable tech in the vicinity. This could add another layer of awareness, letting Cindy and her team know if there are friendly devices around, or if there's something unknown that might need a closer look.
00;18;49;26 - 00;19;01;25
Speaker 2
It's like having an extra layer of digital situational awareness that complements what they can see and hear in the physical world.
00;19;01;27 - 00;19;23;08
Speaker 1
Okay, so let's take this same kind of profession, but take it into, a non war time, area. At least with the glasses and stuff like that. How could, this be used in, like, a regular hospital?
00;19;23;11 - 00;19;52;21
Speaker 2
In a regular hospital setting, AR glasses could be a game changer for medical staff. For instance, a doctor or nurse could wear them during their rounds, and the glasses could instantly display patient information as soon as they walk into a room. This could include vital stats, medical history, and any upcoming treatment plans. All hands free. It would save time and reduce the chances of errors, since they wouldn't need to flip their charts or log into a computer.
00;19;52;24 - 00;20;13;03
Speaker 2
It could also help with things like guiding them through complex procedures, showing step by step overlays, or even eye lighting vanes for easier I-V insertions. It would basically make the workflow smoother and give medical professionals more bandwidth to focus on patient care.
00;20;13;05 - 00;20;32;04
Speaker 1
Okay, we're a little bit far from where we were, so let's kind of double back to Carol. How are the ways that Carol can make her living, with respect to her system that she's got going here?
00;20;32;04 - 00;20;59;26
Speaker 2
Let's bring it back to Carol and how she can turn her innovative setup into a sustainable livelihood. For starters, she could work as a freelance journalist, selling her real time reports and investigative stories to major news networks or online media platforms. She could also offer her services to humanitarian organizations, providing them with crucial on the ground intelligence during crises or natural disasters.
00;20;59;29 - 00;21;27;17
Speaker 2
Another avenue could be partnering with academic institutions or research organizations that need data collection and analysis from remote or challenging location. And of course, you could always consider consulting or training others who are interested in using similar technology, helping them get set up, and making a difference in their own field.
00;21;27;20 - 00;22;00;16
Speaker 1
Okay. Let's let's get you in the room with Carol. Let's say that we are in the perspective of Alex. And Carol and Alex go to a journalist or, I guess, go to a publisher of some sort. What is their pitch for their business?
00;22;00;18 - 00;22;27;04
Speaker 2
All right, let's step into Alex's shoes for a moment, and he and Carol sit down with, potential publisher. Their pitch would likely focus on the unique value of their real time, on the ground reporting capabilities. Alex might start by emphasizing how they're mobile. Command center and cutting edge technology allow them to capture stories from places that are often inaccessible or too dangerous for traditional journalists.
00;22;27;06 - 00;22;50;13
Speaker 2
He could highlight the unparalleled speed at which they can gather and deliver verified information, giving the publisher a competitive edge. Carol would likely time in about the human impact of their work, stories that would otherwise go untold, the voices that would otherwise remain unheard, and how their tech help shine a light on crucial issues in real time.
00;22;50;15 - 00;23;09;14
Speaker 2
Together, they present a compelling case that their innovative approach isn't just about technology, it's about bringing truth to light in the most effective way possible.
00;23;09;16 - 00;23;29;06
Speaker 1
What do you think? Her. I guess depends on who she is, right? If she cares more about journalism, how can she, benefit others? By using her system?
00;23;29;09 - 00;23;49;18
Speaker 2
Absolutely. It definitely depends on what drives Carol. If she's passionate about making a difference, she can use her setup to benefit others in so many ways. For one, she could partner with humanitarian organizations to provide real time updates during crises, helping them deliver aid more efficiently and safely. Okay.
00;23;49;20 - 00;24;04;05
Speaker 1
Speaking of, let's let's talk about real time intelligence and, how valuable that really is.
00;24;04;07 - 00;24;33;19
Speaker 2
Real time intelligence is incredibly valuable because it allows people and organizations to make informed decisions on the fly, whether it's in a crisis zone like Carol's work or in everyday scenarios, having up to the minute data can mean the difference between success and failure. It helps first responders know exactly where to go, helps organizations allocate resources efficiently, and even helps keep people safe by providing situational awareness.
00;24;33;21 - 00;24;48;15
Speaker 2
It's all about having the right information at the right time, which can be a game changer in so many field.
00;24;48;18 - 00;25;23;29
Speaker 1
Okay. I like, talking about specific situations. I think that's where we do the most good. We talked about how the firefighter reduce it. We talked about how old war time medic we would use it. I would like you to, take another profession that would benefit from her intelligence services. Maybe, I want you to focus on the observational capabilities of the drone and camera.
00;25;24;02 - 00;25;35;17
Speaker 1
And, all that tech, but kind of pick something else and we can kind of dive into the benefits there.
00;25;35;20 - 00;26;04;09
Speaker 2
Absolutely. Let's consider wildlife conservation as another field that could really benefit from high tech drones equipped with cameras and sensors could monitor wildlife populations in real time, tracking animal movements, and even detect poachers or illegal activities in protected areas. Conservation. It could get instant alerts if there is unusual activity, allowing them to respond quickly and protect endangered species more effectively.
00;26;04;11 - 00;26;16;07
Speaker 2
Plus, having that kind of continuous, non-intrusive observation helps gather valuable data on animal behavior and ecosystem health, all in real time.
00;26;16;10 - 00;26;33;00
Speaker 1
Okay, let's put Carol and Alex in a contract to track down a group of poachers without them knowing.
00;26;33;02 - 00;27;01;19
Speaker 2
That sounds like an exciting scenario. So Carol and Alex could use their drones to quietly monitor a wildlife reserve, placing cameras and strategic spots where poaching activity has been suspected. The real time feed from the cameras would allow them to track the poachers movements without being detected. They could coordinate with local rangers in real time, guiding them to the poachers location and ensuring that the rangers had the upper hand.
00;27;01;21 - 00;27;16;15
Speaker 2
This way, Carol and Alex can help protect endangered wildlife while being completely under the radar.
00;27;16;17 - 00;27;42;26
Speaker 1
Okay, let's go into a scenario where they are helping provide intelligence to a, let's just say a world leader, getting them from one place to another in kind of a difficult scenario.
00;27;42;28 - 00;28;18;25
Speaker 2
Absolutely. Let's imagine Carolyn and Alex are working behind the scenes to ensure the safe passage of a world leader through a potentially unstable region. They could deploy their drums and cameras to scout the route ahead of time, identifying any potential threats or obstacles as the leader moves. Caroline Alex can provide real time updates, highlighting safe zones and alerting the security team to any suspicious activity their technology could help coordinate with local security forces, ensuring that every step of the journey is monitored and secure.
00;28;18;28 - 00;28;36;02
Speaker 2
In a high stakes scenario like this, their ability to deliver precise, real time intelligence could make all the difference in keeping everyone safe.
00;28;36;05 - 00;29;23;26
Speaker 1
Okay, so I would like to step into the shoes of Tom. He is a, bodyguard of a high net worth individual that is moving through a dangerous area. For some reason. Maybe he has, price on his head, or for some reason, he is, worried about his safety. This main bodyguard, Tom, has this, these are glasses and a live feed to Carol and her system.
00;29;23;29 - 00;29;43;24
Speaker 1
And they are getting ready to move this, I don't know, high net worth individual. Can you take me, through this from his perspective, in the first person present tense.
00;29;43;27 - 00;30;11;17
Speaker 2
Absolutely. Let's step into Tom's shoes. I adjust the AR glasses and do a final scan of the feed coming in from Carol's team. Every alley, every rooftop along our route is being monitored in real time, and I can see highlighted pathways showing the safest route forward. The high net worth individual, protecting is waiting for my signal, trusting me to get him through this dangerous area safely.
00;30;11;19 - 00;30;41;12
Speaker 2
As we begin to move, the glasses suddenly alert me to any changes in our surroundings and unexpected vehicle slowing down nearby, or a crowd gathering a block away. Carol's team feeds me continuous updates, making sure I know exactly what's ahead. Before we get there. It's like having eyes everywhere, giving me the confidence to move quickly and decisively. We navigate through narrow streets and open plazas, always staying one step ahead of any potential threats.
00;30;41;15 - 00;30;51;04
Speaker 2
With Carolyn, Alex's system guiding is I know we're in the safest possible hands and that will get through this journey without a hitch.
00;30;51;06 - 00;31;10;10
Speaker 1
Let's say that you, get to your destination. You you step out of the car with, this person and your glasses alert you to something.
00;31;10;13 - 00;31;37;01
Speaker 2
As we step out of the car, my glasses instantly highlight a subtle but important detail a small group of individuals lingering near the entrance who weren't there in the initial briefing. The system quickly identifies them as unknowns, and I get a discreet alert to proceed with caution. I position myself between the individual I'm protecting and the group keeping an eye on them while subtly signaling to our security team.
00;31;37;04 - 00;31;49;08
Speaker 2
Thanks to Carol and Alex's real time intelligence, I'm always a step ahead and saying that we stay safe and prepared for anything unexpected.
00;31;49;11 - 00;31;55;04
Speaker 1
Okay, what's another profession you want to do?
00;31;55;06 - 00;32;25;18
Speaker 2
Let's dive into something like emergency medicine. Picture a paramedic using Carol and Alex's tag to navigate a busy city and reach patients faster. With real time data from cameras, they could avoid traffic jams, get instant updates on the scene they're heading to, and even get a heads up on the patient's condition before they arrive. This kind of tech could help save precious minutes and ultimately save lives by making emergency response more efficient and effective.
00;32;25;21 - 00;33;02;16
Speaker 1
Okay, let's say that this is like Oklahoma or something like that. And, we have a chief, let's say a fire chief or like chief of EMS or something like that. And, we are covering the after mass, of, of a serious tornado that ripped through a major city. Carol and, Alex just happened to be in state because they know it's tornado season.
00;33;02;18 - 00;33;21;22
Speaker 1
They are there within two hours of the tornado ripping through this city. Talk me through their first steps of how to get set up.
00;33;21;25 - 00;33;51;12
Speaker 2
Absolutely. As soon as Carol and Alex arrive, they quickly assess the situation with their drones. The drones take to the skies, capturing a bird's eye view of the damage and identifying the hardest hit areas. Caroline. Alex then connect with the fire chief or EMS chief, providing them with real time footage of the situation. They highlight the safest routes for emergency vehicles and pinpoint areas where people might be trapped or in need of urgent medical attention.
00;33;51;15 - 00;34;03;11
Speaker 2
By providing this immediate situational awareness. Caroline Alex help the first responders prioritize their efforts, ensuring that help reaches those who need it most as quickly as possible.
00;34;03;14 - 00;34;33;12
Speaker 1
Okay, so we're still being a little bit vague. What I want you to do is, why don't we kind of follow that first fleet of drones that goes out and see what there is out there, and discuss how we utilize cameras to, keep an eye on rubble. Right. We see a big giant building that's been knocked down.
00;34;33;15 - 00;35;03;07
Speaker 1
We go, we fly up to it with the drone or the drone flies up to it on its own. Travels a camera, moves, either on to the next position or back to base to get another camera, depending on how many cameras each drone can carry. Just really specific logistics. The first bit of that.
00;35;03;09 - 00;35;30;27
Speaker 2
Got it. Let's dive into that first drone's journey. As it takes off, it quickly scans the area and spots a large building that's been heavily damaged by the tornado. The drone hovers near the structure and deploys a small, lightweight camera that it gently places on a stable ledge. This camera immediately begins streaming live footage back to Caroline, Alex giving them and the emergency team a clear view of what's happening inside.
00;35;30;29 - 00;35;56;11
Speaker 2
Once the camera is in place, the drone move on to the next location, possibly another building or a critical area that needs monitoring. Each drone can carry a handful of these cameras, so it can drop multiple units before returning to base to reload. In this way, Carol and Alex quickly create a network of eyes on the ground, helping the first responders get a comprehensive picture of the situation.
00;35;56;11 - 00;35;57;27
Speaker 2
As it unfolds.
00;35;57;29 - 00;36;44;29
Speaker 1
Okay, so let's say that the third camera that gets dropped, finds someone in the rubble. And what we need to do is we need to patch this through, to the proper, I guess the I will do this. I will do this. Patch them through to proper eye glasses. Let's say, when we arrived, we handed out, two dozen of these AR glasses to officers within the EMS and, police and, spread them out across the whole area.
00;36;45;01 - 00;37;08;06
Speaker 1
Let's start with the first victim in rubble that's noticed. And let's go first person perspective into the shoes of the EMS representative closest that gets that feed on. There are glasses and is, first responder on the scene.
00;37;08;08 - 00;37;34;02
Speaker 2
Absolutely. Let's imagine stepping into the shoes of that EMS responder as soon as the camera detects someone trapped in the rubble, the AR glasses on the responders face light up with an alert. They see a highlighted pad guiding them directly to the location where the person is found. The glasses also display vital information about the surroundings, like the safest approach and any potential hazards nearby.
00;37;34;04 - 00;37;48;01
Speaker 2
With that clear guidance, the responder quickly makes their way to the trapped individual, confident that they have the best possible Intel to get there safely and provide the help that's needed as quickly as possible.
00;37;48;03 - 00;38;06;27
Speaker 1
So what kind of vital info on, like, human vitals? I mean, could you get from a pair of, like, the most modern AR, set up?
00;38;07;00 - 00;38;35;00
Speaker 2
With the most modern are set up, you could get quite a bit of valuable information. For example, the AR glasses could integrate with thermal imaging from the drones, allowing the responder to see the body heat signature of the tracked individual, which helps in determining their position and even their condition. The AR could also tap into other sensors to check for movement, breathing patterns, or even audio cues that might indicate the person's state.
00;38;35;02 - 00;38;48;09
Speaker 2
All of this information combined would give the responder a clearer picture of what to expect, and how to best assist the person in need.
00;38;48;11 - 00;39;01;19
Speaker 1
Okay. Take us in the ambulance ride using these, AR glasses.
00;39;01;22 - 00;39;29;01
Speaker 2
Here. Let's imagine that scene as the ambulance speeds through the city. The AR glasses keep providing real time updates to the paramedic. They can see the fastest route to the hospital, avoiding any traffic or road closures. Thanks to the drone's aerial view. The glasses can also display the patient's vitals in real time, allowing the paramedic to monitor their condition and make any necessary adjustments to treatment on the fly.
00;39;29;04 - 00;39;38;12
Speaker 2
It's almost like having an extra set of hands and eyes, ensuring that the patient gets the best possible care every step of the way to the hospital.
00;39;38;14 - 00;39;51;29
Speaker 1
Oh yeah, you're so you're definitely in on all the drivers of these ambulances to be in this, knowledge feed or, I guess, data feed.
00;39;52;01 - 00;40;21;14
Speaker 2
Absolutely. Having the ambulance drivers also plugged in to the same data feed would make a huge difference. They'd be able to see the best routes in real time, avoid obstacles, and get the patient to the hospital even faster. It creates a seamless flow of information, making sure that everyone on the team is on the same page and can react quickly to whatever comes their way.
00;40;21;16 - 00;40;52;04
Speaker 1
Okay, so it seems like a lot of the things that we've covered with this, real time intelligence capabilities of these drones and cameras and stuff like that are all kind of centered around, like, war or disaster or, also environmental stuff. What else can they kind of cover?
00;40;52;07 - 00;41;20;00
Speaker 2
There's definitely a lot of versatility with this kind of real time intelligence. For example, they could be used in large scale event management like ensuring safety and smooth operations during festivals or sporting events. They could also be valuable in urban planning, monitoring traffic patterns and helping design safer and more efficient cities. Even in agriculture, they could be used to monitor crop health and manage resources more effectively.
00;41;20;02 - 00;41;32;18
Speaker 2
Really, anywhere that real time data and situational awareness can make a difference. Carol and Alex's tech could be a huge asset.
00;41;32;21 - 00;41;45;26
Speaker 1
With this being such a cheap endeavor, why don't we see anything like this now?
00;41;45;28 - 00;42;14;25
Speaker 2
That's a great point. Even though the technology itself, like drones and cameras, is becoming more affordable, there are still a lot of factors that come into play. For one, integrating all that tech into a seamless system that can provide reliable, real time intelligence requires a lot of coordination, infrastructure and expertise. There are also regulatory and privacy concerns that need to be addressed, especially when it comes to widespread deployment in public areas.
00;42;14;28 - 00;42;37;05
Speaker 2
And of course, having a team that can effectively manage and interpret all that data in real time is crucial. But as technology keeps advancing, we might start to see more of these kinds of solutions in everyday scenarios.
00;42;37;08 - 00;42;45;03
Speaker 1
Is anything like this happening around the world in other countries?
00;42;45;06 - 00;43;11;10
Speaker 2
Yes, definitely. In some places, drones and real time data are being used for a variety of applications. For instance, in some countries, drones are being used for medical supply deliveries to remote areas, or even for agricultural monitoring, law enforcement and disaster response teams in various parts of the world have also started integrating drones to get a better understanding of situations as they unfold.
00;43;11;13 - 00;43;22;09
Speaker 2
So while it might not be wide spread everywhere just yet, more and more countries are exploring and adopting these kinds of technologies.
00;43;22;12 - 00;43;51;12
Speaker 1
I guess, the use of a, kind of data crunching of camera feeds probably exists. I mean, in like the NSA and stuff like that and China and all that as well. It's existed for a really long time, but now it's probably at a whole new level.
00;43;51;14 - 00;44;17;10
Speaker 2
Absolutely. AI powered data analysis has definitely been around for a while, especially in government and security contexts. But what's really exciting now is how accessible and advanced is becoming for a wide range of uses. The combination of AI with real time camera feeds and drones is opening up new possibilities in fields like disaster response, environmental monitoring and even everyday urban planning.
00;44;17;13 - 00;44;25;29
Speaker 2
It's definitely on a whole new level now, and it'll be exciting to see how it continues to evolve and be used in more positive, impactful ways.
00;44;26;02 - 00;44;40;05
Speaker 1
Do you think independent contractors, very similar to Carol, exist or will exist in the near future?
00;44;40;08 - 00;45;18;00
Speaker 2
I think it's definitely possible. With technology becoming more accessible and the growing need for real time data in so many different fields, we could absolutely see more independent contractors like Carol popping up. These individuals could offer specialized services, whether it's in journalism, environmental monitoring, emergency response or beyond. It's a really exciting possibility, and I think we're likely to see more of these innovative tech savvy professionals carving out unique roles in the near future.
