While thumbing down my SR4A again I came across this implant.
The immediate use is pretty clear - submit tactile informations to the user. My question is: Does this Implant subsume the functions of AR Gloves? While the Gloves provide the means to manually interact with the AR, the Touchlink doesn't state so. I'd trend to say this is the cyberware version of AR-Gloves. Your opinions on that? |
