Naohu Technology disclosed clinical progress for its fully implanted, fully wireless, full-function brain–computer interface (BCI). A subject with high-level paralysis, after implantation, combined the BCI with a large AI model, 3D printing and AI-enabled smart glasses to produce digital creations and control environment devices. In creative tests the subject used brain control to input sketches and prompts; the AI generated visual designs and digital models that were converted into physical objects via 3D printing. In daily-life tests the system used the smart glasses’ visual perception to identify nearby devices and, after the subject confirmed intended actions, controlled bed positioning, lighting and other equipment. Applications remain at the clinical exploration stage.
