Brain interface adds sense of presence to bionic limbs

It’s been possible for a while to control bionic limbs with your brain, but there’s been something missing: kinesthetic feedback, or the nervous system signals that give your limbs a sense of presence.

Bose sunglasses hands-on: audio AR makes more sense than you think
