Take A Tour Of The Current State Of Human Augmentation
Deus Ex: Human Revoultion's Adam Jensen is enhanced to the gills, with super-strong arms that contain hidden blades, eyes that see through walls and categorize threats, and implanted retractable sunglasses that he wears indoors. Here in the real world, we're a long way from that level of augmentation, but that doesn't mean that researchers aren't working to interface humans with machines.
Square Enix has released a video that's loosely connected with the game, in which filmmaker Rob Spence travels around the globe meeting people on that technological forefront. He's the perfect person for the job, considering he has a digital camera installed in his eye socket.
It's pretty interesting stuff, and while some of the tie-ins to the game are obnoxious, they don't take up too much time. A word of warning: The opening section contains relatively graphic footage of eye surgery. If you're squeamish about seeing someone's eye getting carved out, you may want to skip ahead a few minutes. There's plenty of interesting stuff after that segment, so don't let that prevent you from watching the video.

For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
