Not Your Grandfather’s False Tooth
From the people at Auger-Loiseau, we have the Audio Tooth Implant.
Incorporating a 150kHz frequency receiver, piezo electric micro vibration device and an electro magnetic micro generator, the Audio Tooth Implant is able – with the help of a modified mobile phone – to receive calls, messages, news feeds and mp3 players. Promising discreet sound reception at any time, the modified dedicated device also customises what you want to hear and when. Which is good, because I personally don’t think I could handle what is referred to as ‘techno-schizophrenia’ – all channels, all the time.
Here’s how it works: A device, which also acts as a long range receiver, energises the dormant receiver (in the tooth) by magnetic near field effects. The transducer converts this signal into vibrations. Sound travels along the jaw bone and into the inner ear (a process called bone transduction).
The website mentions that it could be a form of augmented telepathy – one which I’d be willing to try. So perfect for those cheats, gossipers and whisperers of seductive and sweet nothings among us. Not to mention a great way of tuning out in boring instances.
It’s a conceptual art piece, not a real thing.
Damn, foiled again. But for that, does it actually work?
why wouldn’t it?
If they can beam ads directly to your head, the tooth doesn’t seem out of reach at all.

And how soon will they be hacked to make people hear voices. I could imaging tricking my friends into thinking they have schizophrenia, but then I am a bastard
