So while thinking about and looking endless crap for the madness that is that AR debate I thought of something that piqued my interest.

Hot sim allows you to process information by pumping your brain full of high-tech energy stuff. It makes you faster. The data becomes one with you. What if that data was input from real life, though? What if I'm recieving my five senses through other sources than my organs (screw OR-gans). A camera is recording trid. Microphone is recording sound. My olfactory sensor is smelling. My touch link is even sensing the world around me, turning things like the temperature to raw data. Now, in VR I take all of those feeds and "sense" them. In Hot-sim I could even notice things among the recorded data my pathertic organs wouldn't.

That's great and all, but not very practical, right? There's still a -6 mod for acting on any of that info with my body. BUT, could I control my skillwires while doing this Hot-sim Perception, couldn't I?

Now add all the enhanced sensory information, AR overlays like building schematics and signal locations, and crossreference this into my skillwires couldn't my skillswires take actions according to that information?

Here's the setup: I'm receiving sensory information via peripherals, enhanced by my hot-sim. Overlays further clairfy this info. All that is processed and my skillwires act accordingly. They override my motor functions to take action. I have already disabled the Hot-Sim limiter on RL actions, BTW.

It would be like riding in a big fleshy robot while being on brain-boosting drugs. Rigging yourself via Hot-sim. The periphrals would be neccesary to act, of course.

Why wouldn't something like this work?
Would I receive all three Hot Sim passes?
Would I need a control rig and rigger adaptations?
Could I just rig my own skillwires and use my normal att+skill?

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Completely different thought:

OOO, could I fix my cyber arm with a drone sensor and use that to Acitve target things? Can people use drone radar? Would the sensor/radar even have to be on the arm? Couldn't the drone and arm communicate and coordinate: The drone giving the arm/me radar feef and guiding my hand?
