Synthetic vision system. A modern synthetic vision system produced by Honeywell. A synthetic vision system (SVS) is a computer-mediated reality system for aerial vehicles, that uses 3D to provide pilots with clear and intuitive means of understanding their flying environment.
Synthetic Biology. Synthetic Biology. Synthetic biology is the design and construction of biological modules, from enzymes to complete cells. Synthetic biology combines biology, chemistry, and engineering, and strives to create new systems to solve specific problems.ynthetic biologists attempt to design, model and then fabricate ideal biological systems. Applications for synthetic biology include drug discovery, the production of biofuels, âbiosensingâ (using a biological component to detect an environmental signal), investigating disease mechanisms, and more.
