SPECIAL FEATURES
- Each eyeball comes as two part device, the eye itself and a non-removable implant attached to the optic nerve. These connect via an encrypted wireless signal to a range of approximately 300 metres allowing the eyeball to still function whilst removed from the socket.
- Eyes can perceive in visible, ultraviolet, infrared and microwave radiation, it takes a few seconds to switch between them and can only perceive one at a time. The eyeballs also allow approximately 10x optical zoom
- Equipped with micro repulsor technology that can be operated remotely via mental impulses send via optic nerve implant. The battery can last approximately hour before needing to recharge.
- Optics are powered and onboard battery is recharged via the optic nerve that is fed by miniaturised power unit surgically implanted behind the ear.
- Capable projecting limited HUD information and interfacing with weapons and starship sensors to provide real time information. This process requires reprogramming including adjusting software so cannot be done on the fly.
STRENGTHS
- Improved Sight Options - With the ability to perceive on multiple wavelengths and with a high level of optic zoom, the implants give the user a vast improvement over natural eyesight.
- Remote operation - The implants have a range of around 300m and are equipped with repulsor tech allowing them to double up for scouting or other forms of remote surveillance whilst the battery lasts.
- Ion resistance - All electrical devices can potentially be disabled by ionic interference, but for it to happen to your eyes could be a death sentence, so the manufacturer promises these to be very resistant to such effects.
WEAKNESSES
- These are your eyes - whilst being used remotely they are away from the body and therefore the body is blind, this makes using them in this manner risky if in a hostile environment. There is also the risk that if damaged or destroyed whilst away from the body, the user could be rendered permanently blind until a replacement can be acquired.
- Open socket - Removing the eyes leaves the socket open and exposed, the manufacturer recommends use of an eye patch to prevent debris or infection sources entering the eye socket. The eye should also only be returned to the socket if it is clean as debris trapped between the cybernetic and the inner surface of the eye socket can cause injury.
- Corrosive risk - The surface is designed to be as smooth as possible, inparticular the optic surface on the front. Corrosives can roughen the surface, making reinserting the device uncomfortable and also risking optical clarity.
- Obviously artificial - the eyes are meant to be tools, they are not designed to resemble real eyeballs and as such they can easily be identified as artificial, the cornea typically appears in a light silvery metal and the iris is usually yellow but does vary slightly as visual input wavelength is changed. On very close inspection the iris can be seen to rotate as the eyes focus.
DESCRIPTION
These devices are designed to replace Eyes lost via injury or in some cases, replaced as a cybernetic augmentation. The original design that was stolen by the "doctors" that operated on Khione did not include the repulsor mode, but they wanted to try something, and for a hefty discount on the expensive kit, Khione agreed to be a test subject.
She did not regret it, whilst keeping them clean was an issue and she suffered several infections during the healing process, the utility of having robotic eyeballs that could double up as remote drones was very useful to the raider. She managed to lose one due to flying to close to an air intake, but these things take practice and now she has a knack for it. Even learning to manage the nausea that she almost always gets when flying her eyeballs remotely.
