remote sensing/viewing(capable of seeing places not within your line or sight and not because of x-ray vision to see past sold objects) with limitations, i assume vision as in the mind like non-linear ability to ‘see’ timelines(alternate ones)(also past timelines)
Z-rayF-ray vision from FuturamaEdit: damn, time to rewatch
Bah. Give me the F-ray from Futurama.
Death note.
Oh my gosh, cloudless, you can’t just answer every super power question with “Death Note”!
That vision ability to see people’s names from Death Note would be helpful for avoiding those awkward social interactions where someone is talking to me but I’ve completely forgotten who they are.
Some sort of decision vision where I can see the outcome of anything I do before I do it
Change how I appear to others
See backwards in time from the exact location I’m standing.
How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?
I’ll just visit Egypt and take a look back in time and see.
Location is problematic. The Earth rotates, moves through space and the continents move. Even if you manage to compensate for the first two, where you'd need to be in the present to see what you want to see in the past is almost certainly not going to be where you think it is.
Good point.
Let’s tie it to the object itself then rather than a physical location. Look at any object and see it’s past as far back as you want.
Pick a brick somewhere in the middle and keep going back until the bricks past shows it getting stacked.
Would be pretty cool for things found in antique stores.
I love that the series Seven Days took this into consideration in its device.
The series is flawed in other ways, but that was neat.
It’s not really a problem. The colloquial reference frame definitely does not move through space, and the continents don’t move fast enough to pose a problem. Just fix the reference frame to whatever’s underfoot and everything works how you would expect.
Telephoto and micro vision.
how much zoom?
Infinite
infinite what?
zoom?
in or out?
Obviously yes.
Im not too greedy. Something like eagles, maybe.
The ability to see where the thing in the fridge I’m looking for is immediately
The availability to see if people are open to interact with me. Im so afraid of imposing on anyone it makes it a challenge to make friends.
Some sort of HUD. Would really help navigation and other useful things.
Probably toggleable statistics. So I could choose to see information about people above their heads. Mood, age, name, net worth, and stuff like that. It’d be something I could turn on/off and choose what’s stats I want to see at any given time
Future vision. Hello stock market. They can kick me out of a casino for winning too much but they can’t really do anything if I’m making too much money in the stock market. Even if they tried to claim insider trading or market manipulation or whatever they still have to prove it in a courtroom. They fail because I’d have attorneys because even a halfway decent attorney would win that one. I wouldn’t even have to claim my future vision I could just claim i’m just picking the stocks. They’d have to prove that I’m doing something else.
Who says they have to act by legal measures?
To be able to see a person’s perspective when they tell me a story. Kinda like The Echo from FFXIV, but without the headache.
