The Vectis have developed their own unique brand of technology, largely chemical and optical. Light is passed through a number of fluid filled chambers, some constructed and some within their own bodies – and these have been used for a wide number of purposes such as communication, energy transfer and medical purposes. | The Vectis have developed their own unique brand of technology, largely chemical and optical.
