>> ^Payback:

Upvote for the pilot of the helo at the end even though I'm not gonna say who it is, cuz, that would be like, a spoiler.


Dumb question, but it's a LOST reference right? "LOLZ!.....she's advanced to some future language!" had me cracking up. Thanks for cluing me onto the "hold on to your butts!" reference; I had no idea what that was all about until I watched a video about cochlear implants and then a video from Jurassic Park that included said "butts" reference.

Sweet. Everything is better at 11.

Not a cochlear implant; its a little bone wobbler for people with screwed up eardrums/bones/muscles in their middle ear.
She probably had mostly working components, and heard stuff very faintly. Now its turned up to 11.

This is like a cochlear implant, is it not? Amazing that the brain can process the information all of a sudden.
body arguably brain but jonny would disagree, so I'm not putting it in there.

>> ^Lann:
Was she born partially deaf maybe? My cousin is deaf in one ear and half deaf in the other and has normal speech. At :56 the lady asked "can you hear me" while the girl had her head down and she responded with a head nod. I don't see how she could understand her so clearly if she was completely deaf before.
I also grew up having a friend in my grade who was completely deaf (only could hear VERY loud sounds) While he could talk, his speech wasn't even close to as clear as that.>> ^Hybrid:
Really great video, but like @artician I am a bit confused by it. People born deaf from birth can't speak as clearly as she does. Something isn't quite right, I find it VERY hard to believe she was deaf from birth. Maybe only in the last few years...

Did your new robot legs come in yet? Those will be SWEET!>> ^ant:
Yay! Wow 29 years! I got mine when I was a few years old. I still use bone conduction analog hearing aid (don't like implants). I need to get a new one since mine is cracked and getting lots of interferences due to dying coils.


No. When is it supposed to come in? I didn't know it was coming to me as a free gift/present.

Also, see http://videosift.com/video/8-mo-old-deaf-baby-s-reaction-to-cochlear-implant for the deaf baby!

Women getting implants always make me cry with joy too.

From the YT comments: “I had an implant put in 8 weeks ago called The Esteem Implant by Envoy Medical. I was born deaf and have worn hearing aids from the age of 2, but hearing aids only help so much. I have gotten by this long in life by reading lips. This was taken as they were activating the implant.”

probably the future of gaming but not using a projector , it would use augmented reality on vr glasses/contacts/headset , the tek already exists just need better vr glasses really.
saying that thought it was a realy good video clip I do however feel he missed an opportunity to do something that was likely/realistic.
visually i thought it was pretty cool and easy for people to understand and i'm sure that's what his main proities were


Yeah, I had basically that exact idea bout 10 years ago. Then I realized you can't just 'invent' things that use technology that doesn't exist yet.

Augmented reality glasses are going to be a huge deal when they finally get it right. And then it's just a couple of years until they start implanting that shit in your eye and we all have personalized HUD's

Then next thing you know you can't tell what's real if 'they' don't want you to. Like people going all Laughing Man from Ghost in the Shell.
