I think we've figured out the reactor.

We also need to discuss the idea of sentience.

Well, the simplest solution exists. Nowadays, there are so many different sensors available; it's incredibly easy.

DARPA is funding the military project Avatar: a person controls a combat android or an avatar in a training (gaming) simulator via a neuro-interface (spinal cyber-suit). DARPA won't risk connecting to a million nerve fibers in each eye. More likely, it will be a semi-transparent contact lens monitor or 3D cyber-glasses. The spinal neuro-interface is a direct connection to the nerve fibers of the spinal cord in a person's neck. 5,000 out of 30,000 nerve fibers in a person's spinal cord are connected to the electrodes of the upper switch of the neuro-interface, which is connected to the android via two-way feedback. For the safety of the person's body and to protect the brain from interference from the body, a voltage is applied in opposite phase to the lower part (1 cm below) of each of the 5,000 nerve fibers. This is to disconnect the person's body from the brain's impulses. The lower part of each of the 5,000 nerve fibers is connected to 5,000 lower electrodes of the opposite-phase lower switch of the neuro-interface. The distance between the 5,000 upper electrodes of the nerve fibers of the upper switch and the other 5,000 lower electrodes of the nerve fibers of the lower switch of the neuro-interface is 1 cm. A voltage driver will be needed: a table of solutions "upper switch voltage - lower switch voltage" for the computer to refine the opposite-phase voltage in the lower switch. Without interference to the brain, the body. The switches alternately and synchronously connect the upper and lower electrodes of each of the 5,000 nerve fibers to the voltage. The voltage pulse is applied to the lower electrode after the pulse of the upper electrode has traveled halfway down the nerve fiber to the lower electrode. The upper electrodes of the 5,000 nerve fibers are divided into input and output feedback channels. The input feedback channels receive signals from the android's sensors. The output feedback channels send control signals to the android's actuators. The spinal neuro-interface looks like a two-pin gold-plated plug in a person's neck. It is installed in a person through an operation on the cervical vertebrae. The image is transmitted not by the spinal neuro-interface, but by a semi-transparent contact lens monitor or 3D cyber-glasses. DARPA will most likely switch the Avatar project from a spinal neuro-interface to a gimbal cyber-suit with protected, redundant communication lines. As the cheapest, fastest option with maximum commercial return for business and the economy.

Google has begun accepting pre-orders for the prototype of its experimental Glass computer, which is designed as a pair of glasses with a built-in display. However, pre-orders are currently only available to developers in the United States who wish to test the device prototype, as announced by the company's co-founder, Sergey Brin, at the Google I/O conference.

Wearable computers are devices that are attached directly to the human body and have advanced communication capabilities. Glass is expected to have all the functionality of a smartphone – it can be used to make regular and video calls, send messages, leave geolocation check-ins and posts on social networks, take notes, take photos and videos, use mapping services, listen to music, and more.

On July 12th, “Innoprom – 2012” will kick off in Yekaterinburg. This year, there are many reasons to approach the exhibition and forum with increased interest.

Firstly, the Russian government has awarded the event the status of “the main industrial exhibition in the country” (which they have been striving for since the first “Innoprom”). Secondly, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev will still attend – which means that the overall level of participants will be high. Thirdly, “Innoprom” will feature truly outstanding speakers, and the discussions promise to be truly fascinating. Everyone will be able to observe the main one, a foresight session with the participation of international futurists.
