The transhuman in me goes "YESS!!! EXTRA SENSES!", but it's also great for Blind people, let's hope Capitalism doesn't fuck them over as it usually does with the Disabled and new technologies.

Imagine having sight again, then the company who operates your robot eye goes bust and you are blind again.

This is also why transhumanist body modification will NOT happen under Capitalism, you would never own the new parts in your body

Seeing infrared: scientists create contact lenses that grant โ€˜super-visionโ€™

Breakthrough could lead to range of wearables that extend range of vision and help people with colour blindness

The Guardian

Fuck yes!

Like the Homer Simpson 'Court Glasses' he used to sneak a quick nap in while on the Jury...."I'm not sleeping, I'm looking at you in Infrared"
@Lazarou "Imagine having sight again, then the company who operates your robot eye goes bust and you are blind again." - There's an episode of #Blackmirror about something similar. Very scary stuff!
@alex_p_roe I think it WAS an episode of Black Mirror, the first one of the latest season!
@Lazarou The #Blackmirror episode was about a medical subscription service which kept someone healthy. The monthly charges increased stratospherically and without paying the increases, the person needing treatment started speaking adverts. It was chilling and a little too realistic!
