Mrs. Santi's Prism Mask

Published: July 1, 2022, 6:35 a.m.

A new technology may help a woman regain some mobility and independence by developing an ability she never had before.

Genre: Science Fiction

 

Excerpt:
When Mrs. Santi first came to Jim’s Gym (as he had so creatively named it), she was just looking for someone to help her exercise the muscles she could still feel and engage with fully, the muscles of her upper body. She aimed to delay getting a powered chair for as long as she could.

She had heard of the Ocular Prism Interface, or OPI as the company called it, or Prism as most other people were calling it. She had read that it was being used to help stave off dementia in some elderly people. And she’d told Jim that if he ever got it, she’d be interested in taking a crack at it.

Episode Art Description
: Digital drawing. At center, an older woman sitting in a wheelchair, facing left three-quarters view. She’s wearing a scarf that flows backwards. A teacup and plate float in the air in front of her. She overlaps an outline of an afterimage of herself, sitting just behind her and to the right. The face of the afterimage wears a robotic-looking mask.
