No external hardware would be amazing.
You would simply slip the processor into place, connect it to external hardware and your computer would be with you once again.
There's a free-play mode to create their own programs once they're comfortable, and a recent update added the ability to control external hardware, including drones.
During this transition, perhaps the only remaining piece of CEH (clunky external hardware) will be the sub-woofer, which cannot be emulated with a head-worn device.
This project attempted to emulate an Apple II system without sound, using Atmel ATmega32 processors and some external hardware.
With these techniques, self-contained actuation can be achieved without the need for external hardware to activate material changes.
Researchers at MIT's Microsystems Technology Laboratories collaborated with physicians from Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to develop a new low-power signal-processing chip that could lead to a cochlear implant with no external hardware.
This simultaneously diminishes the risk of sample contamination, and reduces the amount of external hardware required for auxiliary flow control, thus increasing the potential for portability.
ABC News reports on a tiny computer chip developed in the lab of Professor Anantha Chandrakasan that could lead to a cochlear implant that operates without external hardware and charges wirelessly.
Our architecture permits control and synchronization of the sensor and image processing pipeline at the microsecond time scale, as well as the ability to incorporate and synchronize external hardware like lenses and flashes.
One part we will do differently for next time is to fasten the project and to try to build some external hardware input and output (such as keyboard and LCD) so that it could be actually portable.
