I believe the point of this is to power the interface, not the prosthetic itself. If it uses cerebrospinal fluid, then it can actually be implanted subcranially, without the need for a power source to be tethered to it.

Off: Yes it is a fantastic game with some replay value in it, story is solid and combat is great I highly recommend it

On: One of my good friends is super into prosthesis R&D, so I got the whole schpiel about the advances this could bring about. Personally I'm waging on these being commonplace. You could even use it to like charge phones and crap, not just this. Networking the human being -

Oh come on an awesome announcement like this and theres maybe 1 or 2 good posts in here?

I came here for entertainment!

For shame Overclock....

To be on topic, I wish they would figure out how to connect things to the optic nerve soon, I am very blind and my vision is only getting worse. You could equate my vision and perfect vision to the differences between 240p and1080p, except my 240p is all blurry and not magnified enough. Its becoming hard for me to see fine details, like grain in wood, or fine ripples in walls or ceilings styled that way.

I wish with every fiber of my being that they can make a camera that surpasses the human eye, and could hook it to my optic nerve.

I would put myself and my family into a life of financial hardship if these were actually available. I do not see myself living without sight, Ill likely kill myself it that ever happens.

I doubt if a glucose fuel cell setup could produce enough power to do anything large scale though, like prosthetic limbs.

On the other hand, the body does just that. Converts glucose into ATP then uses that to power our muscles.

Long term I can see this being used to power artificial limbs, but that is quite a few years away. Short term I agree with your suggestions - pace makers, eye implants, automatic dosing machines and so on.

Then we can go a step further - implanted phones, tracking devices, ID chips (tin foil hat time) are possible.
