That's a nicely done animation!
Of course Bob's idea should be considered only as an attention-getting
example of what is possible, not what would actually be done. For
example, there is no reason to use a dermal display when one can just as
easily design a system that directly manipulates the optic nerve to
provide the host with what is known in the avionics world as a "heads up"
display (i.e. display appears overlayed in the person's field of view.)
And one could also create a system that directly manipulates the
auditory (cochlear) nerve to provide direct audio alerts and information
to the host.
But the dermal display has an advantage in that it grabs a person's
attention to some of the unusual possibilities of nanomedicine and
nanotechnology.
(And then there is the dermal "blue screen of death" condition, wherein
you have to reboot yourself.  Or suddenly seeing the real-time heart
monitor flat-line - that'll get your attention!  ) |
