could have the emitter in the center of the forehead if you wanted...also,
how is it that geographical centers can create a visual "picture" of an
earthquake or aftershock by converting the data from probes...also, they
have created pictures of what the bottom of the ocean looks like by using
sonar...in other words, it doesnt matter what the radiation is, or what
its frequency or wavelength, you can have a chip convert the data into a
visual representation....

as far as any of this goes, you could also have X,K,Ka radar band
cyber systems that would have an emitter somewhere on the body (low power,
unless the character doesnt care about sterility or the occasional rad
burn) and a receiver as well, pass the info to a chip, convert it and send
the data to the cybereye display link....
