quote: A narrow strip of red plastic connects the Brain Port to the tongue where 144 microelectrodes transmit information through nerve fibers to the brain.
Instead of holding and looking at compasses and bluky-hand-held sonar devices, the divers can processes the information through their tongues, said Dr. Anil Raj, the project's lead scientist.
Seriously weird.

Piers Anthony had a pebble in one of the Xanth books that tasted bad when you were going in the right direction and good when you were going in the wrong direction.
The problem, of course, was that "good" was from the perspective of an animal that ate coal.
This thing sounds cooler.
