Technology hides invisibly and implants headphones into the body

Google Glass is only controversial because it tries to use technology to enhance human senses. This makes it different from smartphones. Although we can't do without smartphones, it is a device in our pocket, and it is not intended to be ours. Part of the body. Google Glass is not. The so-called "go away" technology is essentially making technology an intuition. When Google Glass becomes a contact lens, or is further implanted into the human body, we will also become a technology enhancement. After the superhuman, this is enough to make us worry.

However, some people have embraced this possibility in advance. A generation of electronic madman Steve Mann has fixed the smart glasses on the skull and turned himself into a cyborg. Ars Technica mentioned in a recent article that he claims to be superhumanism. Rich Lee implanted two magnets into the ear to form an invisible earphone. The sound is transmitted through a coil on the neck, the coil is connected to the loudspeaker, and the loudspeaker can be connected to the smartphone.

In addition to listening to music anytime, anywhere, invisible headsets can do other things. On the h+magazine website, Rich Lee wrote, "I can use it with the GPS on my smartphone to navigate while walking the city streets. I plan to match it with a directional microphone (possibly designed as a shirt button or other style) to hear the conversation in the room. It is very easy to connect it to the microphone and then conduct it through the phone."

If combined with some applications, the role of invisible headphones will be further expanded.

"You can use a simple voice psychology test to find out if people are lying. It's not high tech, but I think it's useful when playing poker or dealing with customers. I also have a contact microphone that I can hear. The sound on the other side of the wall. That might be my next implant."

He also plans to combine headphones with an ultrasonic rangefinder. This is very useful for him because he knows he will soon become a legal blind person. In addition, he also considers working with the Geiger counter to experience the radiation. The world. He said, "Living near the old Nevada nuclear test site provides a lot of opportunities for doing this. I don't mind finding yellow cake uranium when walking, because those things are expensive. Close to fever. When I am on an object, I will be able to hear a soft hum, a novel way of experiencing the world of heat. Implants will bring many new perceptions."

Of course, many of his ideas have not been tested. The sound he experiences may be disturbed by various factors. In addition, he can't walk into any strong magnetic field to avoid bad consequences.
