Actually there is no need for eyeware. If you take contact lenses and glasses/goggles, you should have more than enough capacity.

Cyberware smartlink lets you change out ammo for a free action via the DNI. I don't think smartlink glasses let you do that. That's at least one major advantage.

Just add a set of trodes to your PAN in that, Psikerlord. There's your DNI for 50 nuyen and no essence cost.
And I've also long allowed characters to stack contact lenses with another set of eyeware, like glasses, as long as the installed mods in the two made sense. Heck, you could even go all out with a set of [natural looking] cyber eyes, contact lenses, and goggles for probably more gear mods than you'll know what to do with. |

Yup. You can control things with eye movements, etc. I'll still take the nice, easy, perfect trodes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Like an audiophile, you're only imagining there's any higher fidelity. I wish the datajacks were sold with ¥3000 monster cables. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Datajacks are still better. Why? Because you have a PLUG IN YOUR HEAD!
The way Cyberpunk is supposed to be. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |

(unwired) Yes, manual control is worse than other forms of control, but you do not need a DNI in this case. The switch from simple to free action for various things you can do with a gun, requires a smartgun and a smartlink. There is no rule that this is not possible with just a smartlink in a pair of glasses. Its the reason why skinlink+trodes are so popular. You can find various reasons why this should or should not work, but RAW is clear on that. |
