Why would a Faraday cage be so hard to make? If the electronics get small enough, you can have the Faraday cage be the actual orb and keep the electronic components inside it. Mesh would work.

I wear glasses anyway so 'natural tech' hasnt much impressed me anyway. As it currently stands i cant replace my normal eyes so im stuck with shiatty vision ALL the time. if they get prosthetics working and i only have to risk having half shitty vision some of the time, id consider it an improvement.

I also wear glasses, and have a vision disorder on top of that, but replacing my eyes with some plastic and metal ball that would never feel quite right wouldn't enter my mind for consideration ever.

wonder if folks felt the same way back when pacemakers and shiat were being invented...

Your knowledge on available materials that can be used in prostetics must be pretty limiteds since you think in terms of simple plastic and metal alone. Have you ever had an eyeball replaced by the way? You must have, for you to claim it would never feel quite right.

I'd rather have artificial gills

Its very possible, but you would have to find away to modify the fake eye to see and work like a real one would. And that would be hard, trust me.

do you guys really wanna look like the adeptus mechanicus? I know I do!

seriously. if people like that existed in our society (minus all the built in weapons) think of what they could to do help. picture a doctor with all his tools built right in and a bionic eye to magnify what hes doing. it could really help

So much can be accomplished with organic technology that wouldn't compromise your appearance that such crude designs aren't really necessary

EDIT: towards Tas, plastics are the basis of most prosthetics today as far as I know, it comes in many forms and qualities, but in the end it's a plastic all the same. I've seen prosthetic eyes produced and it's very different from what an artificial eye would be composed of. Non-functional eyes are usually a glass or plastic hemisphere with a plastic rod that attaches it to the eye muscle so that it moves as the other eye moves so that it appears more natural. At least that's how I recall it being done ten years ago. Still I don't see the advantage of a mechanical eye over an enhanced organic one, it may even be cheaper and easier to produce.

If you do not see the possible advantage then you need to give the thread a good read through.
