Type XIV Tricorder

The Type XIV builds of technologies first shown and discovered from studying the mobile emitter. For some time, the Imperial Starfleet had been exploring the concept of a holographic interface for their standard PADD's. This would allow for the same device to have dynamic controls and serve numerous purposes. By 2390, a working prototype was completed and Starfleet completed field testing by 2400. By the time of the Perception class vessels, the Type XIV had quickly replaced the Type XIII as the primary field operations Tricorder.
The hallmark of the design is its translucent blue holographics that alows it to dynamically interface with the surrounding world, including overlaying chemical analysis over samples, serving as a tactical tracking device during combat, and providing a mobile imaging device for medical personnel, allowing them to "look" into the patient.
