@Jupiter Pursuing your fridge-side idea, how about having a relatively thin and flexible layer of iron (or some other magnetically conductive metal) implanted below your skin? Considering the size of your touchscreen device you could distribute th...in Coatings, transdermals, other implantsApril 2017

The battery itself is really awesome, though I just noticed a thing: Maximum charge voltage: 4.35V. If I recall correctly Qi charging has an output of 5V?Just looked it up, on adafruit it says: Output Voltage: 4.8V - 5.2VCurrent: 500mABoth woul...in Coatings, transdermals, other implantsApril 2017

@CathasachI guess so but obviously those magnets are subdermal, so that would be an issue. I think @ChrisBot's mounting is really interessting because it would use a large magnetic area to attacht things instead of just one or two magnets.

@Cathasach yeah, sure, but it's one thing if I have to take out my phone, tap my arm and are able to transfer files in notime, or if I have to deploy an armband, a powerbank AND your phone to do this.

Just had an idea, probably the most useless bone (though not enitrely useless) is probably the tailbone or Coccyx. It can be removed surgically, and if it's replaced by let's say a titanium placebo, the muscles could be reattached and there should...in Coatings, transdermals, other implantsMarch 2017

@Jupiter Keep in mind that you are going to need an Arduino to programm the Huzzah in the first place. The inbuilt ESP might be really great for this kind of stuff, but is quite annoying to manage. A good thing I discovered with this ESP is that y...in Coatings, transdermals, other implantsMarch 2017

Yeah I don't think this is really an option, just watch the trailer O.oThis has nothing to do with science, this is just a toy!But with the $299 price tag I'm probably just going to keep fantasising about it : /in Coatings, transdermals, other implantsOctober 2016

@Meanderpaul What exactly do you mean by "cheaper"? I'm going to need the device anyways no matter what game, or am I wrong there?in Coatings, transdermals, other implantsOctober 2016

@Jupiter I've also thought about thought-controlling, it's been around for quite some time already, just look at the upload date of the video.I maily thought about using this to rotate 3D objects or toggle switches.
