- stevenwoo 1y agoI could imagine the one described in speculative fiction that works by directly affecting the neurons in the brain to simulate a sensory organ input could be acceptable with a non invasive, comfortable interface, but it's essentially like magic for foreseeable future, i.e. off the top of my head, Three Body Problem with aliens making countdown appear in people's vision or The Expanse with aliens making pretty much anything appear in people's vision and hearing. Creating content for such a beast and transferring the data from source to destination are also big practical issues.
