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…
