Any character who can't see due to an eye defect (that is, cybereyes fix it) gets cybereyes, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to hand a player a chunk of build points for something he's going to have worked around at character creation anyway.

At the point of using a sim module it becomes VR. Page 206: Matrix basics Augmented reality (AR) includes all types of sensory enhancements overlaid on a user’s normal real-world perceptions. Blind people have no realworld vision for AR to be overlaid. p.228 Your physical perceptions in VR are overridden by the Matrix’s sensory information. Rather than experiencing the real world around your meat body, you only experiences the electronic simulation of the Matrix. A simsense module is required to access full VR. The sim module is a commlink accessory that you access with a datajack or trode net. Here external data over-rides the normal senses by direct connection to the brain. Use of a sim module takes you to full VR (datajack/trode net). As I said, you could probably come up with a restricted medical VR that doesn't have the full RAS overrides and doesn't eliminate non-visual sensory data but I would impose some penalty from the round-about way the data is getting into your brain. |

Someone mentioned earlier the possibility of using queues in other senses to replace sight... tones in your ears saying it's okay to cross the street, that kind of thing. This would be one of those cases where, when you're trying to "see" something (like if it's safe to cross the street) you'd make a perception test. -6 dice for being blind, +1 to +3 AR bonus from your AR "handicaps" trying to compensate.

Read your own quote: ...all types of sensory enhancements overlaid on a user’s normal real-world perceptions. Now that you have the book out, read the description for AR Gloves and Trode Nets. It specifically mentions that you are now vulnerable to Emotive Tracks in AR while using the latter, and AR Gloves allow tactile sensations. There is also a Touch Link. If you need me to find the quotes I will, but you're wrong. ...A simsense module is required to access full VR. The sim module is a commlink accessory that you access with a datajack or trode net.... Note that this is not it's only funciton. |

A sim module replaces goggles, gloves, earplugs and whatever in AR. You can use a simmodule to get all 5 senses AR. You do not need anything else. A simmodule is not only for VR.

unless the blindness comes from brain damage, i would expect most "blind" people to either use cybereyes (most likely thats the reason the tech was first invented) or a simsense based AR feed that feed a cameras view to the brains visual cortex (or whatver its called)...

Man, I really hate the augmented-evangelists, but the sword fights can't be beat. The new AR gloves really make them feel real; hellz, you practically fall over picking up the broadsword. I hear they've gone all out for the recreation this year, even rolling out the digital fog and upgrading the soundscape to include the arrow thawps. Can't wait.

And why do you think it will suddenly be portrayed "accurately" in a future where myth sells? [e]

Shadowtalk has never guaranteed anything remotely resembling accuracy =D just someone's opinion, and a fictional someone at that, is all you're gonna get ;) |
