resistance is futile.
Maybe we… Don’t? Do this one? Ever?
Because blind people should remain blind because of some scifi you’ve watched?
No, it should be okay as long as we can change the form factor to an '80s slotted barrette.
Shhhh that’s punk cyberpunk
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.
I 100% unironically want a Ghost in the Shell type robot body.
Also: “I’m thinking of getting metal legs. It’s a risky operation but I think it’d be worth it.”
Hell yeah. Fuck AI, I don’t want to be replaced by a robot, I want to replace the robots with me. Transhumanism or bust.
I have not thought of that stupid fucking movie in years. I know what I’m watching tonight.
I hope you enjoy the neural degradation that comes from having your brain in a box!
I can get tune ups to prevent/reverse it. Can’t do that with meat if I start getting dementia 🤷♂️
That’s a 40k reference
I am aware. I don’t want a 40k robot body tho. I’d just be turned into some kind of tank and forced to murder orks and heretics.
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Hand to God thought this was an early makeup test for the Borg.
It makes sense if you think about it. An artificial eye could be mounted anywhere in theory. But your brain expects images to be captured from that point of view and it’s going to be the best spot to place the camera to make the feed comaptible.
It also makes sense that this kind of tech would begin with a single video feed. They’ll figure out stereoscopic vision later. So, just the one eye…
The look makes perfect sense…. And just happens to resemble a borg getup!
I’ve played around with moving perspectives. Your brain adapts remarkably quickly to it, in general. It trips up at some bits for a lot longer however.
A few years back, I built a rig to view yourself in the 3rd person (view from above and behind your head). It was good fun. I could adapt to the change in about 5-10 seconds, once I was used to it. Forward collision detection was completely screwed. My brain would default to “normal” without conscious overriding.
It is very beneficial that the camera points in the direction your head is facing, though. And the easiest way to achieve that is to just mount it on the head.
Fully agreed. It’s worth noting that mounting it to the side would likely also work fine. Particularly if the person is already blind. That way it doesn’t disrupt the view of facial expressions.
Mounting it further out to the side would add bulk, though. Also, that looks pretty heavy, so moving it out would mean the user would have to strain more to keep their head plumb. Mounting it on the forehead is an option, but then it would need a lot of rework to add a second eye, and there’s no path towards being able to wear a hat or helmet.
I agree there is probably adaptability here. If I were at the cutting edge of innovating on this, though, I would want to eliminate that variable if I could. Plus, in the long run, the camera will still need to be at eye level, because the world is designed for ordinary people whose eyes are there. Even if you could adjust to having your eyes on your belt buckle, you still wouldn’t be able to walk up to a workstation, sit down, and get your job done.
There is a VR game/demo that allowed you to remove your “eyes” and carry them around etc.
It was weird, I cannot seem to find it any more :(
If you figure it out, let me know. That sounds fun to play with.
Looked like the hologram doctor from Voyager.
What’s god gonna do with that hand
GLORY TO THE OMNISSIAH!
FROM THE MOMENT I UNDERSTOOD THE WEAKNESS OF MY FLESH
IT DISGUSTED ME.
New Borg cosplay looks lit
Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated
They turn it on, the man can see again!
There’s a “Tesla” watermark over everything. He screams
Anyone else find it disturbing thst it looks like the eye is sewn shut
“We are the Grok. All of your deep fakes will be assimilated. Resistance is woke.”
I am Nopeutis of Out.
Why is Homer Simpson the test subject?
“Stupid sexy Flanders!”
Like seeing nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Reply from CPU: “Okay, playing YouTube video ‘12 hours of sexy Flanders’ and disabling all other commands. Re-enabling in 12 hours. Enjoy!”
Woops, end of support.
Until we abolish capitalism, this will always be how bionics are and why i refuse to upgrade anytime soon. Imagine waiting 2-6 weeks for your certified arm replacement because they arent opensource and repairable
I had head of this before but just for the record…
Jesus H Fucking Mary H Fucking Jesus H Mother Fucked Fucking Christ On A Stick Fucking Fucking Fucking Fuck. For Fucks Sake.
that construction looks ass, i hope they chsnge it for this man. the moment it starts raining he is blind again 😭
What are you talking about, this is PEAK, looks like every cyborg from any sci-fi ever.
We are definitely going for the 40K timeline though
