Very interesting piece in wired about neuroplasticity, the ability of your brain to "remap" itself to accept other inputs. The idea about the belt that allows you to always know where north is sounds like a great idea. I can definitely understand how you would get used to something like that though and feel like something was missing when you took it off.
From playing around with it for a few minutes it is as cool as I hoped it would be. I think I'm going to find it quite useful. Make sure you check out the screencast of what all you can do with it and here is an article about how it works.
Ever wonder what Miles Davis would sound like in only 8-bit music like on the original Nintendo? Donate 5 bucks to this cause and you can find out. Donate 30 and get a limited edition CD of it. This seems like a super cool project and the site it is being ran from - Kickstarter - seems like a really cool idea too.
