Future Applications

Part of human aspects is the affect on the future of synthetic biology and the implications of that affect. We decided to have a 'future applications workshop' to discuss, argue and query the possible outcomes related to our project of biological parts communicating through light as well as inserting DNA cleanly.

Below are some illustrations of applications at various points of time in the future. Illustrations by Robbie Henderson.

eye body paint, for replacing bulky high-vis clothing (building sites/ cycling.) or just for aesthetics.

Envirotest, mass testing of enviroments using light-emitting, 'reactive' bacteria. In other words a 'sensorweb' (see Bruce Sterling).

Bio light is the future of light filaments filled with Light Emitting Bacteria (the tubes feed/ replace the bacteria).

Light Emitting Bacteria make up this monitor. Provided with sufficient nutrients the bacteria screen can be any size or shape with minimal thickness and unlimited colour range.

conclusions

Throughout this wiki there are words in bold that indicate a relevance to human aspects. It will become obvious that human aspects are a part of almost everything in iGEM.
