> Pentagon-funded device could help people with age-related macular > degeneration by enlarging objects so they can see them with peripheral vision The only person I know personally with macular degeneration would _not_ be capable of learning how to wink properly to turn on/off the magnification. 8^) What would be more likely is that they would forget they'd turned it on and freak out because everything was so huge. I can imagine lots of old drivers causing more crashes because their lenses were on or off or clicking on/off when they were squinting to see something. Now for soldiers on the other hand... that seems pretty cool. -- ⇒⇐ glen e. p. ropella Neolithic fear is such a motivating factory. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
