Computers in his Skull
Steve Mann has been referred to as the first cyborg. He researches and invents new forms of human interaction and creates wearable computers that interpret the world around you.

In the show, he talks about one of his inventions—the eyetap. Though they look like regular sunglasses, eyetap could completely change how we see the world.

Eyetap are glasses that continuously record what you see and have the ability to interject new information into what you are watching.  As a practical example, you might watch a sporting event with Eyetap and have the experience supplemented by relevant statistics.
