Enhanced Contact Lenses |
By: Kitsune (Kitsune@vabch.com)
Phase World Wearable Equipment: Enhanced Contact Lenses
Unlike twentieth century contacts, these enhanced lenses augment the wearer's vision far beyond the normal human range. The enhanced contact lenses are micro-sandwiches of highly advanced electronics. Just like normal contract lenses, these lenses are placed in the eye but they have special automatic cleaning systems that allow the wearer to keep them in their eyes for months at a time. The lenses are not noticeable except under careful examination of the persons eyes. Many features activate automatically but special optics are activated by making a twisting motion with the wearer's optic muscles.
Billboard Lenses: These lenses simply transmit data from another close range system and work almost like computer monitors placed in your eyes. These are used for the simple transmission of data, special enhancing displays, virtual reality, and even weapon targeting. The only damage is that the transmission of the other equipment can be picked up at very close ranges. Cost: 6,000 per pair.
Light Amplification Lenses: These lenses work by collecting ambient light so that a person can see in dark conditions. They will not work in absolute darkness because they must have some light to work properly. These lenses automatically activate when the conditions require them and shut down when conditions are too bright. Cost: 8,000 per pair.
Polarized Lenses: The glare of bright light and sunlight is filtered as well as a normal pair of polarizing sunglasses. The lenses automatically compensate and require no trigger from the wearer. The person wearing the contact lenses can look directly into the sun. Cost: 3,000 per pair.
Telescopic Lenses: These lenses enable the wearer to magnify objects up to 8 times their normal size for better long range vision. These lenses are activated by the wearer of the lenses. Cost: 5,000 per pair.
Thermal Imager Lenses: These lenses work like an optical heat sensor and convert infrared radiation into a visible heat source. The person can see in darkness, shadows, and even smoke. Note that these lenses are not true light amplification. The wearer must trigger the lenses to activate them. Cost: 8,000 per pair.
Underwater Lenses: These lenses compensate for the distortion underwater. The lenses automatically compensate for being in the water and require no trigger from the wearer but in order to focus for different water conditions they must be controlled by the wearer. Cost: 5,000 per pair.
