In reading John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War, I found that my mind was drawn to imagine the described extrnal PDA’s and internal BrainPal™ interfaces to be similar to our current day iPhones and voice controlled assistants. This may be because I am accustomed to such technology, and this experience bled into my interpretation of the…
Imagined PDA and Brain Pal
Brain Pal Inspired by John Scalzi’s fiction, I am thinking of the way to combine AR interfaces with actual objects. For example, people can plug in chargers into the interfaces instead of sockets. Maybe in the future, architectures we construct today can be composed of AR interfaces.
PDA and BrainPal interfaces
PDA Sketch and BrainPal Interface + Interaction Scalzi’s writing had covered many aspects of the possibilities that humans could interact with a smart device and its useful in making life easy and productive. The comparison of his fiction to the current smartphones as the following: Touch screen – this is the obvious one and with…

The made the option available to go back to any point in a document with one easy motion. You could also use it to navigate in different ways. It made the drag-and-drop feature…

Let The Brain Talk
I was thinking maybe in the future, the PDM connection is not only between humans but also with animals (or even plants). We can then feel everything on this planet, and maybe we will have different demand compare to today.
PDA & Brain Pal for CDF
Here’s what I got from the reading of the PDA and Brain Pal’s capabilities/features. Once the features were written down, I sketched out my design of the PDA. From the description of how Brain Pal functions, I figured it would be surgically implanted onto the surface of the visual cortex as it mentions its capabilities…
