Omega Ophthalmics is an eye implant platform with the power of continuous AR

I recall a character from a Neal Stephenson novel who killed themselves after their retina implant got hacked and they were shown non-stop advertisements even when sleeping.

I'm into this as a concept--customizable vision enhancements--but VR/AR? I don't want anything with a standard network connection in my head unless security gets way better. Hacking my phone is one thing; hacking my eyes is something else entirely.

...and then you can record anything you see, and then here is a way to rewatch it, and then it's a black mirror episode.

Paranoia apart, I'll tend to agree with other comments here.

A device like Google glasses, well why not after all, since you can choose to put them in a drawer (not debating on the fact that you potentially record other people, which is really bad). But having a device you might loose control over and can't switch off ?

It's like those webcam on laptop that can be switch on by a hacker or your OS without you knowing it. First thing I do is to put a paper on it.

Security matters. And I'm finally perhaps a bit paranoid after all.

It wasn't clear to me: is the idea that you install the hardware housing with a more invasive surgery upfront and then could swap out the hardware more easily down the road? Would a second surgery be required for that?

So, they have created an empty box to later put tech in? That seems like the easy part - not that surgery like this is easy, but making AR tech that small is a much bigger order.
