[QUOTE]Tiny-fingered researchers at the University of Michigan have created this computer, the world's first complete millimeter-scale computing system. It is a prototype designed to be implanted in a human eye, to monitor internal pressure there for signs of glaucoma.
The machine includes a teeny battery, a consolidated radio and antenna, a pressure sensor, memory, and a rather diminutive processor designed to consume extremely little power.

My goodness, that's incredibly impressive. Just look at the size of it!
Can it play Crysis 2 :downs:
Implanted in a human eye? Wouldn't that cause you blind?

yes doctor just like how putting a small piece of metal in your arm would make your whole arm not work

except when you move your arm forcefully in a weird direction and it bursts through your skin
Are we closer to augmented reality?
I guess that really is a [i]micro[/i]processor.

I came in here expecting something the size of a penny that would run Windows 7
Not sure if disappointed.

My vision is augmented.
[QUOTE=BurnBlackJay;28216358]My vision is augmented.[/QUOTE]
FUCK YOU.
I was just about to make that joke.
[QUOTE=BurnBlackJay;28216358]My vision is augmented.[/QUOTE]
But is your body ready?
[sp]<Insert obligatory joke relating to penis size compared to the microcomputer.>[/sp]
But yeah that's pretty tiny.
I have no idea how this is artistic.
So does that mean displaying your hunger levels and a mini-map if your surrounding area will be possible in the future?
My eyeball is ready.

Put into the OP for everyone, forgot not everyone knows what size a US penny is.
one step closer to a HUD
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;28216683]one step closer to a HUD[/QUOTE]
When you think about it, HUD would have no point whatsoever.
Apart from showing your health, blood sugar. Heart rate all in instance. Apart from that it's completely useless
[QUOTE=QuickSnapz;28217102]Apart from showing your health, blood sugar. Heart rate all in instance. Apart from that it's completely useless[/QUOTE]
Would be useless for a majority people barring diabetics and athletes.
[QUOTE=QuickSnapz;28217102]Apart from showing your health, blood sugar. Heart rate all in instance. Apart from that it's completely useless[/QUOTE]
That sounds pretty useful to me.
I wonder what it's specs are...
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;28217135]Would be useless for a majority people barring diabetics and athletes.[/QUOTE]
Because it for some reason couldn't be used to show output from normal computers/cellphones/whatever??
Biometric implants sound pretty cool. Not far until we get human augmentation maybe.

A computer... in your eye.
