As far as implants go, does anything but the surgery really seem that risky?
There are potential complications, but less so in comparison to Laser Eye Surgery. This risk of increased pressure (glaucoma) in the eye is elevated, but this is dealt with by a simple procedure before the surgery. A YAG laser is used to make two miniscule holes in the iris and this reduces the chance of increaseed pressure in the eye almost totally.
 
I keep passing on Lasik, because the technology just isn't advanced enough yet for me to risk it. I play too many video games to trust someone shooting laser beams into my face.

Once this procedure matures over the next decade, I will be quite interested.
 
I already have a screensaver on my eyes:

So I wouldn't mind a HUD too.
 
This would be fucking ideal.

No more sticky notes, no more notifications; everything to remind myself in my vision at all fucking times, and no one else would know what is there. How could you go wrong.

The implementation of something like this, however, would set the precedent for open book exams.
 
Getting closer to a Cyberpunk future. I like. Now, we just need the ability to live forever.
 
and I just got my first pair of prescription glasses...bring these out now!
 
Cant wait.

I wonder if you'll be able to configure your HUD to hover display over their head which guild a random person on street is in?


I dunno, I think it'd make it worse, too. Humans are too easily distracted and too tempted by the availability of distraction. I shudder to think of people driving with a heads-up display on...checking blogs, reading directions, flipping through the music library...

Cars will likely be driving themselves by the time that becomes a reality.

I want the ability to write notes about people, so I can effortlessly remember things about them. Also I want a satellite connection and the ability to use google with my mind.
