Integrating a heads up display into the contacts or better yet, direct neural induction to the optic nerve, would be an interesting technology.

But this is cool as well. This could be very useful for military applications, surgery, firefighters, even garden planning / horticulture could benefit from this technology.

Seattle’s self-appointed superheroes of the Rain City Superhero Movement, such as Phoenix Jones, Purple Reign, and El Caballero, need technological innovations like these to keep them ahead of the thugs.

Gosh, this is Great News. I’ll need two also by then, within the next few years.

Sorry to burst anybody’s bubble, but IR does not allow one to “see thru walls.”

I work with IR cameras all the time. All they do is perceive the IR reflected from or emitted by a surface. You can make educated guesses about what is below the surface based on this information. But you simply cannot “see thru” a wall and observe the people moving around inside.

Although there are some interesting capabilities. You can see through fog almost perfectly. Plastic, even “opaque” black plastic, is quite transparent to IR, while most types of glass are mirrors.

You can look at a person’s image and generally tell exactly what type of undergarments they are wearing. Or not.

I’ve never tried it, but I would assume the heat sink created by a hidden gun would show up well under someone’s coat.
