Seems nice. But I won't use it unless I can easily switch between the actual feature of eye focus, and the enhanced feature of zooming :)

Is the brain so plastic?

For the moment, I would much more easily use glasses with a special vision set into a corner of it. Plus a mike set into one of my hears, and a mike in the top of my tie or shirt connected to a portable phone. We could then contact each other as well as contact our vocal computer. That gets us nearer to telepathy. (Note: the hackers and crackers of the system will just be telepaths with a bigger thelepatic ability .)
