Heavy Rain (ARI evidence detecting system)

Brief description

The ARI (Added Reality Interface) is an experimental AR/VR/MR system linked to the FBI database. Agent Jayden has one ARI device (a pair of glasses and a glove that allows for physical interactions such as blood type investigation and scent or shoe-size identification). He uses the ARI to investigate crime scenes (detect and record information), sort through case files, and enhance the environment around him, but also just recreationally to play VR games.

The ARI is still experimental and Jayden is warned not to use it for too long at a time. There are hints that Jayden is addicted to the device, and if used too long (in-game time) later in the game, Jayden will begin to bleed from his eyes and eventually choke on blood and die.
