The $10 Million Race to Invent Star Trek's Tricorder

Fifty years after the show aired, Star Trek’s fictional tricorder is far from becoming a reality. But a $10 million prize from the XPRIZE Foundation is hoping to motivate inventors to create one quickly.

We already have the precursor to the tricorder. It's called a cell phone. I've often thought they need to give IR capability in the cameras and that there needs to be a geiger counter built in as well. Maybe electromagnetic scanner. Should all be Incorporated into the next cell phones...

[@jasontempleton2445]

The lighsabers next , right!?

[@Screamingtut]

I want to see more about Star trek innovations coming out

[@gregmiller9710]

true dat, bring on the transporter...

[@looknowtv]

2,000 years away?

[@gregmiller9710]

looknowtv ..i fear the transporter might be on that list..:)

[@michaelhall7663]

In time everything from Star Trek will come but probably not for centuries or millennia.

[@alexwhite9841]

Now tricoder is called "The Smartphone"😂😂😂

[@bltvd]

That is what i was thinking too.

[@looknowtv]

Great video! I'm glad I found this ch!!!

[@RevelationNavigation]

Wish the AO Scan Mobile could have been entered in this competition! It is truly amazing - scanning, optimizing, full reports on the body, specific frequency programs directed at specific issues, and even "Balancing Harmonic" songs. Feels like using a tricorder to me!

[@amarenstencate]

Nice apartment dude!

[@fortifiedmentality8067]

The clicking things on your chest and in your ear seemed to take away from it's original ability to scan without physical contact. I suppose a passive form of radiation which radiates through one's body and allows the Tricorder to measure it in someway giving us vital reading is needed. And that does still seem very far away, if it's even possible at all.

1960s star trek iconic

[@thecrazy8888]

That last comment... I wonder how great a time he would say we live in now.

[@DeeDee-lz8zx]

It's already here - look up vibrational healing rife frequencies

[@bluebirdfan100]

Make it so

[@SchardtCinematic]

I want to see the tricirder that's not a medical tricirder be made. One that can sense things in the atmosphere and etc...

[@cortster12]

If someone did make one, it would revolutionize space exploration and medicine.

[@davidd3024]

Which Star Trek episode is it at 00:20?

[@christianklein5774]

i alway relatet it as a geological anyls device , build/based on radio teta gama alph weaving and count the downfal ect ,search for live ir teta low gama (bowform ) tricorter makes me think exacly Deta Gamma teta , tea might mied with ir .... not a mystery ...

[@RenzoIsHereYT]

So.. All these days this is what my idea was... Will invent it !!

[@gregmiller9710]

todays scifi 2morrows reality..on some things..:)

[@SchardtCinematic]

Its 2020 and closer than you think. Thermonuclear that dont need to touch your skin. That device you put on your finger that tells you your heartrate and oxygen level in your blood. Two separate devices. But those two alone ate a start.

[@RevelationNavigation]

Interesting! Does it optimize the body too?

[@thefacelessmen2101]

The most exciting time to be alive was the 20th of July 1969, everything since then has just been a sequel. You know one small step etc.

[@zebonautsmith1541]

how about a $10 Million Dollar Prize for a workable Phaser; as well. Time to put the primitive gun to bed.

[@The13Guevara]

🖖

[@kilburnvideos]

So... still nothing?

[@montysplayhouse2199]

Really?

[@2011sjw]

................and a panacea.............???

[@musicaldelic]

I got it
I swear to God

[@musicaldelic]

Please don't rip me off

[@lizmariposa1]

Yeah, but in America, only for the rich though. :(
