Alright guys so realistically how close are we to having something like Nervegear?

Because it already exists. The obstacle now is how do you introduce this to the open market?

I am actually curious how far along this is. I imagine it's insanely costly.

$10,000

>implying grandpas won't be just old coomers

>Can I borrow that napkin? My neurolink hole is oozing again. I think I need some more anti-biotics.

Why are people OK with this?

It's super glued to the skull, and the resulting wound is just a skin flap that will quickly heal into a small scar like any other minor skin cut. I know you're trolling, but they would never let that get into human trials if oozing infections had significant chance of happening.

This is just Elon Musk's latest scam. It's nothing.

My understanding is that, at least initially, it could be used to help with things like seizures. It could be a great relief to some.

Less than a year. This technology is purpose-made to torture people remotely and read their thoughts.

>they would never let that get into human trials if oozing infections had significant chance of happening

I don't believe you. Everything Musk does seems like reckless techno-worship.

Technological progress isn't a straight line, there are lots of current day advancements far in excess of what those films predicted, particularly in computational power and telecommunication, areas that society has actually been focusing on as opposed to space travel and 9 trillion dollar sex slave workers that die after 4 years (great investment there assholes).

We don't even have decent VR yet. No picking up a cup and swinging it or drawing on a window with a marker isn't impressive.

This shit will be used for medical studies first, like connecting a mic to a deaf person or something. It's way too early for entertainment purposes.

Not with drooling retards protesting against it. We should have gotten 5G by now according to 2016 studies but schizos just can't let it go.

how do you charge it then? Wireless charging? Wouldn't that get hot?

Which country will adopt it first? China, North Korea, or another?

this is pants on head retarded just like every idea elon musk has

It's not a high power device, and yes, through induction. It charges over night, which would lower the heat buildup if it was a concern to begin with.

I'd get it if it'd fix my eyesight. You know when you have a slight migraine and you see a bunch of weird shapes and colors, as well as floaters and persistent afterimages? I have that literally 24/7.

>Gabe said
Oh no no no ahahaha.
But seriously, he literally said something similar in a talk in 2012. Don't believe everything an authority figure says without actually knowing what his internal context for things are user. I can tell you from following Gabe, his staff, and his son's talks about BCI that what they're thinking is that it's probably closer than not within our lifetime, but it's also not within 10 or maybe even 20 years close. Good enough VR tech to be serviceable enough for a really great game though? That actually is "closer than you realize". But don't get confused, it won't be a Nervegear.

10 - 15 years we will have BCI's for consumers in practical and entertainment use according to GabeN.

I bet we will have Nervgears by the time millennial Zig Forums tards are on their deathbeds, maybe sooner if we have AGI/Super intelligence before then.

Why don't people realize this isn't anything more than what was shown in the presentation? At best what it's going to be in the next couple years is a controllable mouse cursor for a quadriplegic patient? There are potentially decades of hard problems that need more than just money to solve.

we already have that with lasik.

was also mentioned it could be used to help bridge communication in the spinal nerve system. Potentially allowing people to move their legs again.

get laser eye surgery
i doubt that this thing on your brain could fix your eyesight, it's like trying to get a software fix for a hardware problem

>10 - 15 years we will have BCI's for consumers in practical and entertainment use according to GabeN.
Oh, and when did he say that? I looked at that article, but he doesn't mention BCI there.

You underestimate how much people want to cum in an anime bitch. It wouldn't even be that much of a security/privacy concern if they used the earlier behind the ear design, maybe the bandwidth was bad or something. Maybe eventually we'll have a comparable non-invasive method.

There was an IGN interview that article was written about. He talks about Valve successes and missteps leading up to Half-Life Alyx, the future of gaming and valve, and other shit.

Open your eyes take a look around you the world sucks ass and life sucks ass

Can you give a timestamp? I couldn't find him giving an actual estimate for how long BCI would take to come to market.
