Technology of the Lunar Reckoning – Mindlink Implant
March 12, 2011 in Lunar Reckoning 69
Mindlink implants were first tested by paraplegics as a supplement to then-current cybernetic prosthetic technology. Military use of mindlink implants followed soon after, the standardized ‘needle’ plug being developed for ATLAS military use. Later, colony workers were provided mindlink implants for use with new work mechs, allowing them to use the mech as they would their own body, after some training.
The first mindlink implants were very primitive. They were only able to read limited information; namely, that information produced by body movements. It could not ‘redirect’ movements, meaning that it could only be used for two purposes – cybernetics control, and ‘control scan’, the act of predicting control movements in order to increase response times. The next generation implants allowed the ability to recieve movements in such a way to control vehicles directly…but only vehicles that had a humanoid configuration (namely, the new version of the GPWS).
