The blind Dr. Miranda Jones was one user of a sensor web in 2268. She stated to Captain James T. Kirk that she could perceive more with the information fed to her from the sensors, than Kirk with normal eyes. She could easily play games of accuracy such as tennis, determine exact distances down to the centimeter and detect heartbeats of those around her. In spite of this, there was disagreement as to whether the sensor web was sufficient for her to pilot a starship. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" )

  • A sensor web was a piece of clothing made of small sensor units. This web allowed those with blindness or those who voluntary blinded themselves to function as a person with full sight. In 2268, Dr. Miranda Jones wore a sensor web to cover up her blindness. Jones claimed her web allowed her to function so well she could play tennis. (TOS novel: Is There in Truth No Beauty?) In 2270, Qat Zaldana wore a sensor web because, as a member of the Order of the Faceless, she had to keep her face covered at all times and could not see. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time)
