Transhumanist wing of nutbag military agency cooking up dystopian projects
The secretive US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing a device that will plug directly into the brain and transmit images, bypassing the optical system altogether, according to reports.
Under the guise of developing a “cortical modem”, to enable blind people to see, DARPA researchers say that the device may also eventually replace all virtual and augmented reality technology.
Projects such as Google Glass and the Oculus Rift may be superceded by DARPA’s program which aims to create high-definition images directly within the human brain, according to researchers.
Much like in the action film, the Matrix, the device would be powered by a spinal implant.
Plans for the project were revealed at the Biology Is Technology conference in Silicon Valley last week, with boffins unveiling short term plans to create a small device that will deliver images to the brain without the need for wearing glasses or a helmet.
Reports noted that DARPA was described onstage at the gathering as a “friendly, but somewhat crazy, rich uncle”.
Further information was provided within the pages of transhumanist magazine Humanity Plus.
