Beyond Bizarre and Way Past Stupid

madmacmo · Nov 4, 2013

A self-described "biohacker" had a big electronic chip almost as large as a deck of cards inserted beneath the skin of his arm. Without a doctor's help. And without anesthetics

The device Cannon had inserted into his arm is a Circadia 1.0, a battery-powered implant that can record data from Cannon's body and transmit it to his Android mobile device.

And it does what?

The Circadia chip isn't particularly advanced: All it does is record Cannon's body temperature and transmit it to his cellphone over a Bluetooth connection.

This guy is more of a 'Bio Moron' than anything.

The DIY Cyborg

Circadia 1.0 was built by Tim and colleagues from his company, Grindhouse Wetware

Which reportedly took 18 months to develop and is

in a sealed box with a battery that can be wirelessly charged

What the Circadia looked like before being implanted

LOL best part " a battery-powered implant"
I bet the battery in there would only last a week with bluetooth and those leds you can see through his skin if this dumpass doesn't use a inductive charging method.

and then "hey I'm gonna changing my batteries give me a scarpell"

I can understand magnetic implants and even RFID implants, as those are unobtrusive.

That thing is giant! All to record is body temperature? :wtf:

Someone should have told him about these..

shokkunlasers · Nov 4, 2013

I totally agree with you!

also he doesn't need as medical help or something like this just for fun inserting something potentially dangerous in your body. No way I would do this.

I've got two logical ways to do the exact same thing he does but not nearly as dangerous,painful,unpractical...

1.thermo probe in his ass connected with a small controller in your pocket or somewhere

2. wrist band with a very small thermometer in a catheter in his arm

BUT why such a huge thing under his skin

Just... why... no... that's so pointless.

Ped, I like your idea better. At least aesthetically that would look "cool" implanted into one's arm. Moreso if you could actually have the glass exposed to some degree.

I wonder why it had to be so big :thinking:

A temperature sensor that transmits data over blue tooth could be made extremely tiny.

ARG · Nov 4, 2013

I would be more worried about the body rejecting the implant, something that big would be hard for the body to accept. Even those tiny RFID tags get rejected sometimes.

He did have a piercing specialist on hand, so I image everything was sterilized.

IMO development in this way isn't bad but there are dumpasses everywhere

we all know this in our hobby :/

I personally would implant me a sensor IF it's well tested and useful why not if it can predict heart attacks cancer or less harmful things

hell maybe I would even implant me something like this http://i.imm.io/1jQT5.png

"LiveScience: So what are the practical applications of implants such as these?

Rollins: Well, some people get them just for the pure expansion of the senses. But one guy I spoke to was an electrical engineer, and he said he could determine if a hard drive was spinning properly inside its housing without even opening it up. He could feel the pattern of the energy. One other guy said he could actually feel which cylinders in his car were misfiring when he was fixing his engine."

But definetely not now I don't wanna be alpha or beta tester with something being put in my body !

In 10 years maybe

Would suck if the Lipo battery failed inside it

( assuming its Lipo )

Would love to be a fly on the wall at the airport scanner as well :crackup:

"Honest..its just a thermometer officer"

Come with us, son.

This kind of stuff is going to be more and more common.

Frankly I'm surprised that there hasn't been some idiot on the news that stapled a cell phone to his head yet.

I am very intrigued by the magnets in the fingers, it seems like it would be useful in life.
Only thing that I don't like about it is that the magnets will wear out over time, and MRI's are a no-go.
Still considering it, it would be amazing to be able to sense electromagnetic fields, and tell the difference between AC and DC by feeling it.

RA_pierce · Nov 5, 2013

Holy whatever. I bet that guy regrets it.
I wonder if he thought this all the way through... I know it has to be uncomfortable.
Imagine going for a run and having a giant implant bouncing around in your arm. Or trying to sleep in a comfortable position.

I wonder how long it will be before he cuts the damned thing out of him.

InfinitusEquitas · Nov 5, 2013

As soon as the novelty wears off. Which won't take long.

Imagine the pain when that thing catches on something... and with those edges it will.

Wow this is one of the stupidest things ive seen someone do....
