Changes: Sensor web

Revision as of 19:58, 15 October 2014

A sensor web was an array of sensors that could be worn over ordinary clothing. Sensor webs were utilized by the blind in the 23rd century to help carry out normal lives.

The blind Dr. Miranda Jones was one user of a sensor web in 2268. She stated to Captain James T. Kirk that she could perceive more with the information fed to her from the sensors, than Kirk with normal eyes. She could easily play games of accuracy such as tennis, determine exact distances down to the centimeter and detect heartbeats of those around her. In spite of this, there was disagreement as to whether the sensor web was sufficient for her to pilot a starship. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?")

-A '''sensor web''' is a garment of finely woven sonar units, typically utilized by the [[blindness|blind]] during the [[23rd century]] to help carry out normal lives. The web can be worn naturally over everyday clothing. It emits low-level sonar scans undetectable to the human senses (presumably ultrasonic), and translates return signals into media perceptible by the trained wearer.
