One technology development that is here today is the "programmable" personal dive computer. The VR3 is such an example that allows new algorithms to be updated to the memory. The website doesn't give too much detail but EPROM is my guess.
Sadly the price makes it too much for my limited budget, but I would like something like this for trimix dives up to about 50m. My buddy is my wife so we need to buy two and that is enough money for a couple of week's diving so I am hoping the price drops...
There are a whole host of views about the VR3 and its competitors and they have been discused on other threads - pls don't repeat here!!
The CONCEPT though is surely a sound one? Allowing for future developments in algoriths, models and the like as well as changing the M-values for the individual diver as s/he ages and goes through the life process and/or loses/gains weight.
My concern would be available memory. I would need to know a lot more before shelling out $1,000 x 2.
