3D Scanners: Spectography As The Future Of Geological Surveys
3D Scanners Used In The movie "Prometheus" Might Be The Future Of Mapping
The Technology Will Shake Up The World Of GeoSurvey When Fully Developed
"I love my rocks and my rocks love me", were the words of the geologist in the team of Wayland's "Prometheus" space project in the 2012 film of the same name "Prometheus". One major fans loved about the film was it's innovative science, the film went as far as inspiring Electrical and Electronic students to take up the challenge of designing the exact same technology user in the film, but what is that technology?
3D cave scanners, also known as "Spectrograph", scenes in the film shows how these circular orbs were released in the cave to map the area, these floating orbs sent images back to the shipnofbthe crew and printed a 3D-Holographic image of the entire cave, and the printing continues as they flew round the cave.
This movie inspired UK based rail giants "Network Rail" to fund a project which will produce a drone similar to what was seen in the film. Major Universities in the UK are part of the ground breaking research which will see first tests of the project in 2021, but what does this mean for the future of geoscience exploration in places where people may not be able to reach.
There are rumours of military drones as small as birds that can access even the tighest corners, but these spectrographs if invented will redefine geoscience patterns of exploring remote areas, as it was also seen in the world's largest cave, where drones were used to explore the cave. Geologists are optimistic and hopeful that this type of technology will save a lot of geologists some stress.

I can't believe this is even possible!!!
