>Eyephone shades with eye-cursor
	Things that eyephone shades can be used for are weapons tracking,
perhaps tied with a gyro stabelized weapons platform or gun.  How about
that as a guard dog substitute. look at your target, bink to lock the
pointer and say zap.  Robie then unloads a few hundered rounds at the
unfortunate target.
	If you do any combat you can use the shades to provide 360 degree
vision, or view other sensing spectra given your hand comp has the required
sencing equipment.  Perhaps a tricorder style of analysis and comentary fed
into your vision as you view things.
	More mundane and near future uses for such a system would provide
long distance telecomunication, remote monitoring of your situation,
provide a location service (ie maps), remote storage and retrieval of data,
providing access to a computerized expert on a range of topics.
Artificially inteligent expert systems are available now, but these should
be tightly controled by the GM.  Available topics should be very narrow,
commonly available topics, expert systems do not have the intuitive
abilities that humans have.  Current expert systems do things like diagnose
viral diseases, but it would be lost if you had a broken leg.
	Then there is always the terminator solution.  Eyephones display
realtime commentary about surroundings and were used to generate replies
that allowed the terminator to fit in with his current sittuation and
providing him a variety of options.  Swap your hand comp rom pack out and
put in a module for local street slang.  Then when the local street scum
question whether you belong on their turf, you can respond to them
eloquently with out resorting to violence.  I'm sure you could come up with
other ideas given some thought.


>Getting into the Rat Race...
	Swiss army rodents, a new style of computer peripheral hardware.
For breaking into computers I think you would have a better method by using
remote telecomunications from your hand comp.  And a human is a better lock
pick than a machine, but as a bug or spy device it may work.
