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 novelization: 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)
