I read an article from 2003 (8 years ago) about a company developing some form of computerized buoyancy control device for scuba divers, and lift gear.

I know this isn't quite relevant for us recreational divers, but the idea intriged me. Has anyone else heard about this? The company that is referenced in the article is now defunct, and their link doesn't go anywhere.
I can think of so many reasons why this is a bad idea, but when I do a safety stop in open water, this is exactly the kind of thing I'd love to have, and be able to take a look around rather than at my depth guage.
Thoughts?
Mortis.
