It's possible with today's technology to use a camera and
display to provide superhuman sight. Telescopic vision,
night vision, radio waves... All it takes is detectors in
the
proper wavelength and a big ugly blocky camera-on-the-
head setup. That last one is the big problem: No one
would
be caught in public wearing such a thing.
The meme of a sophisticated man holding up a monocle
to
see better still survives. Taking advantage of this the
solution is simple. Design the eye-piece in the shape and
color of a monocle on a chain and the camera-computer
unit as a leather hip bag. Convince the rich that
monocles
are back in style and put up ladies versions on the
runways
and in a year you'll see them everywhere.
The stadium-to-opera-house version has the camera in a
device shaped like a telescope and is otherwise the
same.

It's basically like glass, except actually useful and
even more creepy |

"Sauron" would be a good brand name for this product |

I might instead suggest a palantir. |

Or you could call it the PsiClops. You'll see so much your friends will think you're psychic. |
