      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 :(

    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.

      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

      What are you talking about, this is PEAK, looks like every cyborg from any sci-fi ever.
