From what I understand, the television show that came from this was pretty good, and used much more impressive tech.

The most advanced described would implant photosynthetic cells on the backside of the eyes, which in turn would be connected to nerve endings into the brain, and the number of cells would determine the resolution of the vision. Even with the highest number of cells currently possible, the vision of the wearer would be pixelated, exactly like that of the Gunslinger. So, with that in mind the the tech of Westworld does not look that dated. I think we are just used to that computer graphics should be super high resolution.<br />However, why limit an android to mimicking a human? One of my friends has setup a business, Innowiz, that has developed a LIDAR vision for cars that allow a computer to understand everything going on around it. It is super compact and with this installed the Gunslinger would be quite powerful.

It has that mid-60s-70s dystopian vibe shared by a lot of other science fiction movies of the time and although the tech is dated, some of the ideas aren't. It's a lot of fun and I'm a sucker for technicians trying their best to save others, only to belatedly realize they're also doomed for not putting any manual exits in their control rooms.Ipecachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157560182505626755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-3486298118364024762019-11-14T10:11:32.691-06:002019-11-14T10:11:32.691-06:00That's by design.
