Holographic Arm Computer - the HAC - fix this up later!
Sasha Peinre (sunhair) is the original creator of the HAC. He created it while still living on Hiine, during the technological boom.
Yes, the people on Hiine had come to a pretty impressive technological age before being moved to Shareen. Which explains why the current year of 1678 is not the same technological age as we had in the 1700's.
The earliest ones were just a arm guard with holograms on it, which evolved over and over until the implants became the norm. In Zain, the Likan territory, the HAC is so normal, kids get them as they join grade school. The holographic one for the arm became the norm around 1590, so that part is pretty recent.
The desktop and the arm guard one is still in use, and the old prototype from Sasha is still being used by some of his descendants.
The reason the implant and use of it is so common is because on Hiine, the forests were really suffering towards the end, and Zain tries to use as little trees as possible in products. Old books from the first thousand years on Shareen are now collectables, as they're fragile and kept as historical artifacts. The Faseere city has massive libraries, in special buildings, safeguarded all day round, as they contain history and knowledge.
Normally the HAC runs in aether, Likans have this naturally, and the Konac aoe. But Sasha did get around to making magical cores that other species could have implanted with the HAC, so they could use the HAC, and learn magic. The core still has limitations, like the Likan's crystal.
The procedure for implanting the HAC normally happens at a young age, around 10. Yes Likan start grade school at 10.
They get implants in their fingers to interact with the screen, implants in the ears for the audio feature, and some... mysterious one in their face, which lets them have video calls with people. Don't ask me how, I am still thinking about it. Might be a facial tracker, rather than a camera.
ZEF also get lenses so that their eyes can record stuff they see and have to report on.
The HAC is available to anyone who wants one. The Maremis of Hiine object this, since Shareen has a problem with aether becoming tainted, and they worry the HAC can be used against them as a mind-control device. Part of this conspiracy is from Jero Fereros, and while Sasha tries to debunk it, the theories still fester.
Maremis who live in Zain, or Toimendos/Konac that travel to Zain to get a HAC, as given one. They do take some time getting used to, and its customizable, which means you have to activate and deactivate alerts and there's a tutorial. XD
