Can you use Sensor software on glasses?
-
The glasses would have to be linked to a camera, you could integrate a micro cam into the glasses, but the software is run from your Link.
-
If you have image link on your glasses then it can work.
-
Image Link can't run software though. Nor does it have camera functionality. It simply is able to put visual data in your sight. You'd need some kind of camera to capture the data, a comm or remote server that runs the sensor program, then you can do with the results whatever you want, such as having an image link tell you "warning, criminal X identified".

*Gasp!*
Not...Criminal X!!
Alright, listen up, people! Our fugitive has been on the run for 90 minutes. Average foot speed over uneven ground barring injuries is 4mph. That gives us a radius of 6 miles. What I want, from each and every one of you, is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at 15 miles. Go get him!

Well considering freaking underwear have electronics in them there's no reason a pair of display glasses can't run some software.
Then again it's not exactly a commlink in and of itself, so it's probably doesn't have the storage and spare cycles to run a high rating program. Device rating for a pair of display glasses is probably somewhere around 2-3 so I might let you run some sensor software at R1 or maybe 2 on it.
As mentioned previously they don't automatically have any sensor capabilities, so you'd need to have that on them to begin with.

Peripherals use the same rules as standard nodes (see Devices and Software Ratings, p. 206, SR4), with some restrictions. They are only able to run a single persona and can only run programs they are designed to use.
Glasses and other such things would be considered peripheral nodes, and so they couldn't run sensor software themselves. You'd need a camera (and whatever other hardware you'd need, such as a microphone for Noise Analysis or the Thermographic Vision enhancement for Weapon Watcher) which could be built into the glasses, and then run the actual software on your Commlink, accessing the glasses as a slaved device.

Brings a whole new meaning to "the naughty bits"!
Get it?
Bits? Data?

It gave an example in the CRB of using underwear for data storage, so I mean, why wouldn't you?
Got me my 500 Gp panties, and 200 Gp sports bra... now what the hell do I store on them?

Your music collection so you never run out of tunes while exercising?

He started it... :P ;D

Hrm... I suppose I could. It'd be allot easier than holding them, while running around naked listening to music.
-
Now I'm thinking what sort of things you'd use electronics in everyday items for.
Twitter $#itter can take on a whole new meaning when you've got... Well nah.
Shirt that tracks your sweat and odour?
Umbrella with flat image advertisements (I can see that happening sadly).
Air conditioned Jackets and suit coats.

That might be legal in some parts of the UCAS.
Just not advisable. Keep your kevlar undies on!
-
Kevlar undies? Meowch, I'll stick to spandex, if they even fabricate that 70 years from now.

Yeah, that line sucked, and yet Horizon made them sound like some kinda miracle breakthrough in manufacturing.
-
Sounds more like an Aztechnology product to me...too sadistic for Horizon.
-
Maybe AZT used Horizon for PR and add campaigns, as a joke and Horizon took it on as a challenge. Either way, you should have seen that hospital bill.

I'd rather not...

Because no great story ever started "Dude, hold my salad!"

I'm still waiting for the day when I can say, "Dude, where's my car?" and the only thing left of my car are the four wheels sitting atop cinderblocks in the parking space.
