I have a cochlear implant so I'm already half cyborg!

Still - I am surprised people aren't building on top of CI research/engineering to do _more_. When my processor is upgraded and I get bluetooth which I'd be able to not have to use headphones anymore during calls and such - I kinda wanna make a "hack" as in have an app on my phone that does some beep beep beep kinda thing when I'm facing north, less beeps south etc and see if my brain starts to know north or south without any aid.

I think I read something similar of someone who made a vibrating belt on hackaday that did the direction thingie and apparently it did work.

Fun times!

Check out “Livewired” by David Eagleman. It talks about the brain’s adaptability to various inputs and using technology to create new “senses”. I think I remember the directional thing being covered and it working to improve peoples sense of direction.

I often wonder what will happen when artificial since organs are better that natural if we will see people getting replacement. I would love to have Bluetooth enabled hearing, or camera base eye prosthetics that see into other spectrum or have zoom function, or a overlay a heads up display.
