  I could see some cool military applications for this too.

    Now you can see your friends dying in the next room, instead of just hearing it!

    Or if it’s only a map, now you can see how surrounded your unit is!

    This is valuable tactical data, surely it won’t cause any morale issues.

      It’s true. All new inventions have a morality issue to them. And those moralities need to be weighed heavily before implementing them.

      But it can also be used to guide a secluded operative back to his troop. It can be used to detect road mines that otherwise would have exploded.

      New technology is just a tool. It’s the people choosing how to use it that makes it moral/immoral.

    Some “blind” people do have data coming in, it’s just so blurry/skewed that it’s worthless. It might be possible to fix this but it would be a case by case basis and likely very expensive. Not all blindness is a world of black

      Even totally blind people can usually detect light as painful, slightly less dark darkness. That’s actually why so many wear dark sunglasses
