|
| Context |
|
A neurocannula is used as an interface between the brain and a computer network. |
|
| Description |
|
It is used in the book for virtual reality and normal computing alike. Every human sense can also be used in the virtual environment. |
|
| Comments |
|
Other ideas from the book are long term immersion systems for sustaining a human body while its user is immersed in virtual reality. Also nano technology is used to modify and enhance a human body (one that is enhanced with technological enhancements that have been surgically added earlier).
In the book a software agent which has been enhanced from a children's toy plays a vital role in the plot, which gives the impression that the software agent has been upgraded so far that it can be thought of as a person with more than average intelligence. |
