| − | [[Data Headpiece|Data-Display/Recorder Headpiece]] represents a significant breakthrough in | + | [[Data Headpiece|Data-Display/Recorder Headpiece]] represents a significant breakthrough in holographic display technology at {{TL|13}}. A small rectangle of polylucent [[cuprothallium]] provides a constant heads-up three dimensional display for the wearer. Although useless by itself, the headpiece can be interfaced with virtually any number of {{TL|13}}+ devices by using a [[multiplexer]] similar to that used with [[commdot]]s. The multiplexer not only coordinates the information for the user but also synchronously records the multiple signals onto one standard [[holocrystal]] for later review.{{Page cite|name=Imperial Encyclopedia|page=56|citeName=IE56}} |
Their use is common among bridge and engineering personnel on [[starship]]s as well as smaller craft. For example, someone flying in a [[Grav Belt]] while using a neural activity sensor handset would find it inconvenient (to say the least) to refer to the readout on his backpack. Instead, the sensor’s output is immediately displayed on his headpiece. At the same time, he can monitor his altitude, airspeed, position, and the operational status of his grav belt batteries and grav units. If he is also wearing a vacc suit, he can read off his oxygen supply and internal temperature besides.{{Page cite|citeName=IE56}} | Their use is common among bridge and engineering personnel on [[starship]]s as well as smaller craft.
