Maybe if you are blind, this could be helpful to not get lost and get a sense of the direction you are facing. But I guess there are already less invasive solutions (and other sensory inputs like the sun on your skin).

- draugadrotten 10y agoThis "implant" is pretty much a wearable device since it is in contact with skin but is fully outside the body.
- blisterpeanuts 10y agoUsually wearables refer to things you can easily take off, like a watch. This thing looks pretty permanent -- though maybe it flips open like an earring to be removed and serviced?
