Yes...with my wearable (once it's complete enough) I will be able to see
in the infrared, to see periodic phenomena without a strobe light, to hear
sounds above and below the normal hearing range, to play almost any
instrument as easily as a kazoo (well, at least a synthesized version
thereof) :)   The list goes on and on....
(Isn't DSP great? ;)

>- to help disabled pople?

While not for me, it can sure do that...mainly through audio and video
filtering.

>- to create a higher(!?) (werable-improved) society ?
>- to help people communicate ?

Definitely yes...to be in touch at all times should I want to.
To be able to tune in or connect to almost any form of electronic medium.
Mind you things get even more fun when you're not the only borg in town.
(As I seem to be...)
