Eye Injection of Nano particles can give people NIR vision

And for those who would love a good scientific journal read, here is the PDF version of the Cell paper.

This is fairly wild, biomedical enhancement and augmentation is coming fast.

I rather see only normal colors and not having things injected into my eyes

Not into transhumanism.

How about NIR eye drops then?

 

[eidairaman1]

Nope

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

Sign me up. Eventually I will go blind no ifs and or buts about it. So stuff like this intrigues me greatly.

 

[Athlonite]

this would be great when I'm on overnight security jobs

 

[er557]

keep the augmentations to deusex , I might take an SLS device externally for night vision, or stuff like that, but do we really need to turn to robots in our day to day life?

 

[Arjai]

Interesting stuff. I wonder HOW safe it is.

 

[Apocalypsee]

It would be scary both ways, if this is successful it would literally inject horror to be able so see more than what we could actually see before and if this was unsuccessful it could mean harm to your eye. Same goes to hearing, I dont want to hear in ultrasonic or infrasonic region.

It's an interesting concept. But our brain cannot process the NIR very well, this is how it looks:

Unless they are plan this for military purposes...

I'd say this is more genuine than it is scary. You don't burn your eyes looking at infrared. One query though, why not reds, but greens? Infrared is supposed to be a continuum.

Gotta wait for the UV vision added version to come out I see.

 

[FireFox]

do we really need to turn to robots in our day to day life?

Sooner or later it will happen.

 

[mtcn77]

Sooner or later it will happen.

I still believe in organics & homeostasis.

Nothing is truly "organic"

Current iteration of human is the accumulation of millions years of evolution.

We just finally reached the brain evolution point to have enough intelligence to accelerate that process. Embrace it.

I totally disagree. Accumulated spontaneous organization is not evolution. You cannot evolve between species and cannot between organics and inorganics. There is one thing present in evolution however, it is regression. The reason we can affiliate taxonomy is because all species have similar genes and they lose some in long term. So active metabolism is the opposite of evolution, it is development.

Not happening. UV would cause damage to the eye due to having too much energy. This is why you don't stare at a sun.

In fact, you don't need nano particles to see UV, you only need an operation that removes the UV filter from your eye and there are people who became able to see UV like that.

Macular degeneration?
Knowing you will eventually lose your vision is a scary thought.
Personally I have had an injection in to one of my eyes due an issue I had years ago with inflamed rods that threatened my sight.
This type of treatment can only benefit those that require it.

 

[xtreemchaos]

im up for a upgrade, where do i sign.

 

[er557]

I'll wait for the TI superclocked augmentation....

I'm so sorry to hear about this, bud.

I'm still waiting for Steve Austin's eye, complete with the zoom sound. (The Six Million Dollar Man)

Biomedical enhancement and augmentation turley are an intriguing subject.

A lot fo signs point to that there is a long way to go until we can call the human race intelligent.
I remember a speech from Neil Degrasse Tyson and i quote "Perhaps we've never been visited by aliens because they have looked upon Earth and decided there's no sign of intelligent life "
