Simple question really. If someone had cyber eyes, and was running one of the camera-based sensor software programs (facial recognition, empathy software, etc) on their PAN, would they be able to use the feed from their cybereyes for the program? Or would they need an additional camera sensor bought separately?

Simple answer. Yes. There's no difference between cybereye cameras and other cameras.

I run it all, all the time. Whee! Pop in a separate commlink just for that.

If you have cyber-ears you can run the audio sensor software packages as well.

Bleh, clustering is trash. And I'd rule that clustering things like that makes them stop doing their normal jobs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
And since the OP asked, you can just do all the same sensors/software without the cyber, which is almost certainly a better idea. |

Why do you need to cluster it anyway??? Dont they get a device rating from their cyberware grade which determines their commlink stats??? You can run software on them without problems that way. Clustering is only useful if you have lots and lots of programs to run and even then i dont really see the point compared to just running them separatly.

Right. But I'd rather just get another commlink or two, instead of having all my cyber up, running, and connected like that. In the end, it doesn't matter much, but I don't like the 'device rating = free instant commlinks' mechanic (at my table).

Well my Sasha has empathy, gait and noise analysis, lie detection, vehicle identification, facial and noice recognition running 24/7 so i figured clustering her senseware together with her datajacks is the easiest way to run them. |

Your issue will be system rating limiting software rating. Unless you upgrade the system on all components in the cluster, you'll be utilizing the weakest system (likely a 2 or 3) limiting the program whereas a commlink will give you a much higher system rating for much cheaper. |

I just don't think it makes sense to use Rating X stats for most peripheral nodes.
