A '''data pad''', sometimes rendered as '''datapad''',<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 332''</ref> is a piece of technology used by [[human]]s, [[Sangheili]], [[Jiralhanae]] and other species. Data pads are [[portable computer]] pads that store information, files, pictures, and sounds.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''pages 22-23''</ref> Data pads vary greatly in size, from the size of a tablet computer to thumb-sized devices.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 304''</ref> | |||
[[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] kept a pad of information with her about the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] candidates as she began to research them.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 37-41''</ref> She also appeared to have this technology on her glasses, as she could pull up and read files on them.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 74''</ref> Similar to modern day devices of the same nature, they can be password protected or, in Dr. Halsey's case, sensitive to her retinas only. The [[UNSC Tactical Simulator]], used by the [[Spartan-IV]]s to insert themselves into combat scenarios throughout human history, runs on data pads.<ref>'''[[Halo: Spartan Assault]]''', ''[[Operation A: Umbra]]''</ref> | |||
[[ | The [[TACPAD]] appears to be a military application of the data pad. | ||
The [[ | The Covenant are known to utilize devices similar in function to the human data pad. Specifically, Sangheili warriors use unique disc-shaped datapads to store personal recordings and [[Mission Intel]] logs.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref> | ||
The [[Banished]] also utilize similar technology.{{Ref/Game|Id=HINF|HINF}} | |||
