Privacy-respecting thought-controlled AR+VR smart contact lenses that correct my eyesight, block out UV, can somehow project sound into my brain, overlay people's names and basic info when I see them and don't remember (or make me remember thanks to the brain interface), and let me browse the internet and work on stuff without using my hands because RSI :(
Alright dude, you and I need to talk about the limits of what you can do with your biology.
I’ve had and solved all of those problems via biohacking. Except for the eyesight correction (though I have found it’s affected by inflammation, hydration levels, and nutrition to a larger degree than I would have predicted).
I remember the day someone just told me “You know, you can cure plantar fasciitis. It’s not some thing you have to live with forever”. I was blown away. And they were right.
Now you’re complaining about all these things you seem to think are fixed aspects of your body, that you have to live with until technology fixes it for you, but they’re not.
FWIW Monocle is open. Lynx XR is also working toward that. SimulaVR also but didn't try it.
PS: missed the thought controlled part... iMHO for this we need quite a few more years. Basic control sure but nowhere near what even the most basic keyboard could provide. I'd argue combining inputs, e.g controllers, hand tracking, mouse and keyboard, will keep on being muct more efficient unless there is a medical need for it.
PPS: had carpal tunnel, switch to all ergonomic few years ago, never looked back
