Psymbiote – a Cyborg overview
A pretty interesting lecture and demo on creative cybernetic research and a "short" overview of CyBorgs in science, media and todays reality.
"The Psymbiote: Hybrid Apparatus For Social Interface is an ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration focusing on the merger of technology with the human body. … Ultimately we seek to fully transform a human body into a new and unexpected hybrid organism with fully integrated control systems."
Talking about wearable computing and cyborgs i think this statement about HMD's is interesting:
"The next step might be something you put in like a contact lens. What's the leap from there to a display implanted under the cornea?"
However, my most beloved CyBorg is Battle Angel Alita, one of the best manga I ever read. No wonder that the world expo in japan is much about robots…
