Editing Mesh (section)

== Meshing Technologies ==
Almost all biomorphs in the solar system are equipped with basic mesh inserts—implanted personal computers. These implants are grown in the brain via non-intrusive nanosurgery. The processor, wireless transceiver, storage devices, and other components are directly wired to the user’s cerebral neuronal cells and cortical centers responsible for language, speech, and visual perception among others. Thought-to-communication emulations (so called transducing) enables the user to control the implant just by thinking and to communicate without vocalizing. Input from the mesh inserts is transmitted directly into the brain and sometimes perceived as augmented reality, overlaid on the user’s physical senses. In a similar vein, the mesh inserts installed in synthmorphs and pods are directly integrated with their cyberbrains (creating a potential security concern as cyberbrains are vulnerable to hacking).
External devices called ectos are also used to access the mesh, though these are growing increasingly rare given the prevalence of mesh inserts. Ecto interface options include haptic interfaces like touch-display controls, bracelets or gloves that detect arm, hand, or finger movements (virtual mouse and keyboards), eye tracking and blink control, body scanning grids (body axis control or all-limb controls for non-humanoids), voice controls, and more. Sensory information is handled via lenses, glasses, earplugs (subdermal bone-vibrating speakers), bodysuits, gloves, nose plugs, tongue dams, and other devices that are wirelessly linked to (or physically plugged into) the ecto.
