1. Bounty hunter template in BBB has cyber implant version of ultrasound sensor in cybereye. Cyber version of sensor is listed as headware and not eye enhancement. Is this sensor just interchangeable? Why such huge mark up compared to other eye enhancements or even the contact version?
2. If putting ultrasound sensor on drone, add it to camera, or separate sensor? |

1. It's one mistake of many with the pre-gens.
2. Camera |

If camera for drones and normal vision enhancement for external items ie glasses,contacts etc... Why headware for cyberware, both have exact same rules correct?

Probably because the headware also includes the necessary audio enhancements necessary to detect and develop a "picture" of the surroundings using the ultrasound system.

Both headware and eye/vision enhancement use exact same rules, with no audio component in eye/vision devices beyond device themselves.

i believe a long while ago someone on these boards made the observation that there really isn't enough distance between the eyes to be able to get a good image using ultrasound (it had to do with the wavelength of the ultrasound frequencies iirc rather than device-related problems) such that you couldn't get a decent picture from it if you had the emitter in one eye and the receiver in the other. or at least, that's what i recall about the subject... it was some time ago, back when SR4 was really young iirc =P This post has been edited by Jaid: Aug 13 2007, 02:08 PM |

There isn't really any distance in a single camera, either...

I argued in past posting that ultrasound required separated emitter and receiver, with eyeware it would require seperate device or large goggles, this would also make the headware version more understandable. Would also have to make it separate sensor for drones or again simply add separate component.

Technically, it's not impossible... like RADAR. |
