Also, they make good stocking stuffers

Okay, I know there's a lot going on at the moment...

[what with dungeons, walkabout fallout, whatever the hell's going on with that penalty box...]

...but I just wanted to give anyone who might be interested a heads-up that Infoglasses are now available on a first come, first serve basis. I figure I can make maybe three a month to start with, so if anyone wants a pair, let me know.

For anyone who doesn't know what Infoglasses are, they're basically glasses that double as a portable display for computers, TVs, and other devices. They've got wi-fi access, provide their own hotspot, and have a massive photographic database onboard, so you can use them to look at a given object, compare it to similar objects on file, and pull information about them from the database. They're Spark-era tech, so... pretty advanced.

Anyway, I'm around if anyone wants a pair.

Yeah, I figured out how before the last Jaunt started.

[She thinks for a moment.]

Adding to the database shouldn't be a problem for Travelers with programming skills. As far as security goes... they're more secure than systems from most of the worlds we've been to, but they could probably still be hacked by Spark-era tech. Luckily I happened to keep my programming skills from that era so I can program in some countermeasures, but it's definitely a potential concern.

I'd be more concerned about someone picking a pair up and putting them on than hacking them remotely. Maybe a biometric key...?

[razorblade_empress]

[Yukino considers that.]

So only the intended user has access to the database? Maybe...

[She can probably program something like that, but she may need some advice on the best way to implement that.]

[reallymean]

Precisely. We've already left a dangerously large footprint on several realities.

Pidge might be able to help with implementation, if you need someone to bounce ideas off of. She's a marvel with technology.

[razorblade_empress]

[Luckily, Pidge has already piped up elsewhere.]

I'm not gonna say no to suggestions in that area.

[reallymean]

If you need a quiet space to work, I have rather more than I know what to do with in the Castle.

[razorblade_empress]

That'd be great.

[She really does need to learn how to create her own space at some point, and besides which, she's heard enough by now to know that Allura had a shit walkabout (to put it mildly) and she's honestly worried about her.]

[reallymean]

Let me know if you need any specialized equipment, and I'll do my best to have it waiting for you.

[razorblade_empress]

Thanks - I'll do that.
