Next Friday, Agent Ethan Hunt is coming back with Mission Impossible 6.
In the past 22 years, the American agent has successfully surpassed the British "007" with 5 "Mission Impossible" series blockbusters, becoming the world's most popular agent No.1. And "Atango" Tom Cruise, who is "long" with this character, also lets the audience see what is the "antiseptic" rejuvenation technique.
In addition to Brother Tang's eternal handsome face and eternally athletic hands, the "Mission Impossible" series has also made great contributions to global technology - the black technology used by Brother Tang in the past 20 years in the film has been targeted by real scientists and has developed some products. The king of the secret service industry is none other than him.
Black Technology
3D printed face mask
Appearances: 1996 Mission Impossible 1
Function Description: It is said that seeing is believing, but in Agent Ethan's high-tech toolbox, a set of face masks can hide the sky and deceive everyone's eyes. From the stunning debut in Episode 1 to the rapid molding through 3D printing in Episode 6, this mask that can be disguised as anyone is already the most iconic black technology in the Mission Impossible series.
Gait system
Reality follows: With the improvement of 3D printing technology, the production of face masks is no longer a fantasy. It is reported that in 2013, there were doctors in the United Kingdom who made 3D printed masks for patients, but this mask needs to be pasted with professional glue, and it is not yet possible to do the same exquisite and accurate accuracy as in the movie, nor can it be worn and unloaded at will like Brother Atang, and it does not hurt his pretty face at all. In today's Hollywood, many big-name actors' stand-ins also use simple face masks to avoid wearing gangs in close-up shots of movies.
Holographic glasses
Appearances: 2000 Mission Impossible 2
Function description: On the surface, this is an ordinary sunglasses, but when the wearer uses it, he will see pictures, videos and other information on the lenses, and is equipped with audio and remote call system. In the next few films, the glasses gradually upgraded their functions, and at one point evolved into contact lenses equipped with a face recognition system and a camera function.
Handsome holographic glasses
Reality follow-up: Black tech research related to smart glasses, tech companies such as Google have been working on it. According to reports, Google began to develop a miniature camera in contact lenses 4 years ago, which detects faces and objects through built-in sensors, and users can control the functions of glasses through blinking actions. In the research and development of wearable glasses, Chinese and foreign technology companies have launched primary smart products, once the technology is mature and put into mass production, everyone no longer has to play with their heads down to play mobile phones, and directly wear glasses to use various APP.

Powder pinhole camera
Appearances: 2006 Mission Impossible 3
Function Description: The beautiful agent opens the powder box, while the beauty of the makeup, while frantically taking photos of the target person, such a natural secret artifact, each agent is worth having.
Puff box camera
Reality follow-up: This should be the least difficult to replicate in the "Mission Impossible" series of black technology, in fact, the current society's creativity of candid equipment production is far more impressive than this powder box. Unfortunately, most of these devices are used in illegal areas, which is overwhelming.
Gecko gloves
Appearances: 2011 Mission Impossible 4
Feature Description: Ethan said that I was going to climb on the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, so he had an extra pair of "gecko gloves" in his hand. The glove uses the basic principle of a gecko climbing a wall, coupled with electrical support, to help Ethan accomplish another impossible task.
Reality follow-up: Why the gecko is a master of climbing walls, the secrets are all in the soles of its feet. In 2014, several students at Stanford University in the United States invented gloves similar to "oars" according to the key principle of gecko climbing glass, and climbers can walk on the wall through the adsorption and release function of gloves, and this research and development achievement has also attracted the attention of NASA in the United States. But unfortunately, if you don't have the strong arms of Brother Atang, even if you give you a pair of gloves, you can only hang in the air awkwardly, and it is difficult to walk.
Touch screen window & palm print car lock
Function introduction: Agent Ethan has such a car: the front windshield is a whole touch screen, through the finger dragging action to achieve map navigation, file search, etc., and accompanied by intelligent voice services, at the same time, the driver can unlock the vehicle through this touch screen, and use the tablet to achieve unmanned driving. Hearing this, are you a little envious and jealous?
Touch screen car
Reality follow-up: The research and development of smart cars is a big hit in the technology circle in recent years, and Chinese and foreign technology companies have targeted the "fat meat" of unmanned driving, and have launched beta versions to let players taste early. The principle of unmanned driving is to perceive the road environment through the on-board sensing system, automatically plan the driving route and control the vehicle to reach the predetermined goal, and use the intelligent driving instrument to liberate the driver's hands.
New and exotic technologies such as palm printed car doors and touch screen windshields have also made major breakthroughs in recent years. Last year, an American company announced that it had developed the technology to fingerprint on glass. It seems that it will not be long before Agent Ethan's car can be driven by our (relatively wealthy) ordinary people.
Gait recognition system
Appearances: 2015 Mission Impossible 5
Function Description: This is a black technology that Agent Ethan wants to overcome in the movie, the system will perform a 360-degree scan of the organism, record its physiological characteristics and behavioral characteristics, especially the walking posture, to prevent the organism from being counterfeited.
A wrong walking posture can be detected by the gait system
Reality Follow-up: Mission Impossible 5 only came out in 2015, but as early as 2008, a professor at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom developed a 3D gait recognition system to identify someone by analyzing their walking posture in the video. Perhaps, the screenwriter of "Mission Impossible" was inspired by this news to use this "level" in the movie, it is reported that scientists from many countries have developed this technology in depth, because its security is higher than fingerprints and iris, and can be widely used in various industries.
