Body augmentation is the use of technology to enhance or modify the human body. In our current society, we’re already altering our bodies, including things like the implantation of devices like cochlear implants for hearing or pacemakers for controlling heart function.

As part of the future internet, body augmentation will go further. Mojo Vision is developing AR contact lenses that position micro-LED displays inside the wearer’s eyes. Imagine being able to put in these lenses, and see weather information, chat messages,

or AR information about the world around you.

Some companies are pushing body augmentation even further and trying to hook our brains directly to the internet. “Neural VR” combines virtual reality technology with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to create immersive, interactive experiences that are directly connected to an individual's nervous system.

With neural VR, users can control and interact with virtual environments and objects using their thoughts rather than traditional input devices such as a keyboard or controller.

Companies like Neurable, Meta, and Elon Musk’s Neuralink project are all working on BCIs that have the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the future internet.
