UK Newspaper The Sun Is Fooled By Deus Ex’s Cybernetic Implants

October 16, 2013 by Ian Miles Cheong

The newspaper appears to have been fooled by marketing for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

As much as we would like for cybernetic implants to be real, they're just not going to compare favorably to the stuff we see in science fiction games and movies.

In the case of cybernetic eye implants, the closest thing we have to having them in real life is a digital camera lens embedded into the eye socket of a someone suffering from visual disabilities, and functions not like a Sarif Industries eye would, but rather a low-resolution webcam with several broad components.

"It's not vision as I remember it. I can see flashes of light, if I focus on an object it'll appear as a flash of light to me," told user Philip Booth in an interview with Wired.co.uk sometime in 2009. "I can identify that object and where it is. I can see where windows are, where doors are. I can see clothing, the difference between a white shirt and a black shirt if there's a contrast. I'm signed up for another 12 months and hopefully it'll be extended beyond that. I would tell anyone else who gets the chance to do this to do it."

It's a form of sight, but it's nothing compared to what you might see in Deus Ex.

And speaking of the game, UK-based newspaper The Sun appears to have been fooled by Deus Ex: Human Revolution's marketing and thinks that Sarif Industries is real. Seen above, the newspaper appears to have been fooled by the game and its fictional corporation for whom the game's protagonist, Adam Jensen, works. 

A reminder: It's not.
