none?
free?
simple?
Complex?

Kicking Levarr Burton in the nuts is a Complex Action.

stupid me, I meant is that appropriate, due to the shifting of perceptions, does a free action suffice or does the character have to take more than that, no action to accomodate the shift? or a perception check to accomodate?

I'm akin to the logic that its similar to turning the lights off it takes a while to adjust...

how's that? the dicepool modifier only affects when you are moving around

Because the benefit is largely fluff, and can be duplicated with AR and/or sensors rather easily, cheaply and without essence cost. The brain would adjust, even if you had to give it a little help, incurring (at most) the distracted penalty to perception tests (which is what happens with the AR version). "All tests while in motion," is the rule, like in a car, walking, standing on a conveyor belt, etc. It's a waste of money and essence as is.
