well, yes, i suppose there already are, and have been.
[snip, snip]
smaller form-factors are probably gonna be operated
with a voice interface instead, with audible output too.
[snip, snip}
i see that form-factor as either an ear-ring (for women
and some men) or a stick-on dot that'll be applied just
behind the ear, where the jawbone intersects, so that it
can pick up vocalizations and be audible to the person.
but again, an audio-only interface is going to be _so_
radically different that people will probably consider it
to be a completely separate type of machinery, i'd say.
Why not go with the state of art. There are already system that do actually
work with brainwaves. That is a person uses certain thoughts to control
a cursor or computer. Both person and computer have to trained.
Furthermore, there is work on triggering thoughts/sensations by stimulus.
Especially, in the field for helping the deaf and sight impaired.
quite interesting to think about, however... :+)
Quite! If it helps people.
kinda like a wise person, always in your ear, telling you
exactly what you need to know in that situation and in
that place and time, notice of danger and opportunities
and whatever else is relevant... like i said, interesting...
The question is whether one has control of the input or it controls
