- Hearing aids that run off body heat (changing batteries every couple of days is a bitch) - Some sort of system that lets me watch movies and TV shows with captions/subtitles without forcing everyone around me to see them. (The little devices at movie theaters are neat, but clunky and don't work at home.) I'm imagining augmented-reality glasses, but I would take some sort of polarized glasses that only make subtitles visible to me. - A reliable way for a minimally trained person (note: not untrained) to draw blood for blood tests and drop them in the mail without having to go to a lab.

Polarized glasses, plus an LCD display with the front polarizer removed = display just for you, if there's a good way to route captions to a secondary display? (getting an appropriate size and shape display to mount under or over the main display is also a challenge) Edit: An article about removing the front polarizer http://www.gizmag.com/stealth-computer-display-lcd-polarizing-glasses/29700/ http://www.gizmag.com/stealth-computer-display-lcd-polarizin... although I had forgotten that you'll end up with an all white screen for people without polarized glasses, that might be distracting too...
