Low-light vision: This accessory allows you to see normally in light levels as low as starlight. It doesn’t help in total darkness, though.
Flare compensation: This protects you from blinding flashes of light as well as simple glare. It mitigates the vision modifiers for glare and reduces the penalty from flashing lights, like from a flash-pak.
Image link: A standard upgrade, this lets you display visual information (text, pictures, movies, the current time, etc.) in your field of vision. This is usually AROs, but you can display pretty much whatever you want on it. You and your team can use it to share tactical and situational info in real time. An image link is what you need to truly “see” AR and participate in the modern world.
Smartlink: This accessory works with a smartgun system to give you the full benefit of the system. The smartgun will tell you the range to various targets, as well as ammunition level (and type), heat buildup, mechanical stress and so on. Without a smartlink, a smartgun system just sends out data that isn’t received by anyone and has no effect. A smartlink installed in a natural eye or in a pair of cybereyes is more effective than a smartlink installed in an external device; see Smartgun System, p. 433 CRB.
Thermographic vision: This enhancement enables vision in the infrared spectrum, enabling you to see heat patterns. It’s a very practical way to spot living beings in areas of total darkness, to check if a motor or machine has been running lately, and so on.
Vision enhancement: This sharpens a character’s vision
at all ranges, providing visual acuity closer to that of
the average hawk than that of the average metahuman.
It adds its Rating as a positive modifier to your limit on
visual Perception Tests.
Wireless: Add the vision enhancement’s rating as a
dice pool modifier to your visual Perception Tests.
Vision magnification: This zoom function digitally magnifies vision by up to fifty times, allowing distant targets to be seen clearly. For rules on using vision magnification in ranged combat, see p. 177 CRB.
