Implantable Technology Show and Tell
Introduction to implantable technology through market overview, hands-on demonstrations, and personal stories from practitioners of human augmentation.
Summary
Implantable Technology Landscape
The speakers introduce implantable technology that is currently available on the market. Products range from simple passive implants to complex active devices with sensing and communication capabilities. Understanding the current landscape helps biohackers evaluate options and understand possibilities.
Market Overview
The speakers cover where implantable technology can be sourced, the range of products available, and the costs associated with different augmentation approaches. This practical information helps aspiring biohackers understand feasibility.
Hands-On Experience
The show-and-tell format enables audience members to see and handle actual implants and augmentation devices, creating direct engagement with technology that biohackers use to modify their bodies.
Personal Stories of Augmentation
The speakers share their own experiences becoming "augmentives" (people with bodily augmentations). These personal narratives illustrate what it's like to live with implants, the social dimensions of being visibly augmented, and the motivations driving people to modify themselves.
