A recent attempt to create an absurdly powerful cybermage has led me to this question. Can a blind character with astral perception get any benefits from a Smartlink?

Of course, the obvious answer is no since the eye display would be useless to a character without working eyes.

However, I eventually had the idea that a heavily customized (in other words, Deltaware) smartlink processor with a guncam and a dedicated datajack could send out a simsense limited feed instead of just display data, giving the shooter a virtual view from the perspective of the gun. While providing the standard -2 TN for shooting, this setup would provide an additional +2 TN for everything else.

Ideas? Suggestions?
