Subject: Cybereye's in weird places
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 1993 21:10:08 CST
Cybereyes in the back of one's head isn't that bizzare. Now something that
would be really weird would be a cybereye installed in the palm of one's hand.
If this were allowed, the runner would be able to look around corners, use his
hand as a periscope, and similar activities. I don't think it would work, so
don't thwap me for suggesting it. I'm merely pointing out there are a lot more
bizzare places to put a cybereye than in the back of the head. The hand is
only one possibility.
