PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: VisTech Diversified Technologies, LLC
Affiliation: VisTech Diversified Technologies, LLC
Market Status: Closed-Market
Model: Scout-Hunter Field Electro-Goggles
Modularity: None
Production: Mass-Production
Material(s):
- Blast-Tinted / Anti-Glare Ballistic-grade Glasteel
- Superstretch Durafiber
- Betaplast
- Cellular Padding
- Onboard computer components
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Pre-loaded dataset contains identification software, able to recognize, classify, and provide brief summary descriptions of thousands of florae and fauna found across the galaxy, enabling hunters, scouts, and other users to identify and distinguish various species of plants and animals and assess any risks which they might present.
- Tough, durable materials and construction is perfect for rugged environments, and protects users’ eyes from bright lights, sunlight, dust / debris particles, wind, and precipitation. Polarized anti-glare, blast-tinting ballistic-grade lenses are extremely resistant to damage and provide excellent eye protection.
- Functioning like electrobinoculars, the lightweight goggles provide users with information regarding an object’s range, elevation, direction of movement, relative and true azimuths. Built-in magnification and image enhancement as well as night/lowlight-vision capability make them ideal for scouts and military personnel, as well in survival situations.
STRENGTHS:
- The Better to See You With: Vision enhancement and night/lowlight-vision capabilities, electrobinocular capabilities, all work to improve visual acuity and provide terrific options for users.
- The More You Know: Identification software allows users to recognize numerous species of florae and fauna, providing users with summary information as to the species’ edibility, uses, habits and life-cycle, and possible risks, improving survivability and aiding scouts and hunters immensely.
- Safety First: Blast-tinting and anti-glare ballistic-grade lenses offer terrific safety against dust, debris, sunlight, wind, and precipitation, making them well-suited for rugged use in virtually any conditions.
WEAKNESSES:
- You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know: If a particular species of plant or animal isn’t stored in the onboard database, it cannot provide users with any information regarding them, meaning new or particularly uncommon species will not likely be identified.
- You’re No Help: Goggles do not provide any assistance to combat or marksmanship accuracy whatsoever, as they lack any ability to enhance targeting or interface with various weapons systems like more specialized targeting optics would. So, while they offer great protection and enhanced vision, they’re not much help in other ways, and users must still rely on skills and talents to make their shots count.
DESCRIPTION:
Lightweight rugged construction and ultra-durable materials provide users with exceptional long-term wearability and protection against most common risks to eyes, even able to protect against indirect hits by low-powered kinetic weapons such as slugthrowers. And, while they do not provide any real benefit to accuracy or targeting, they can provide users with information regarding plants and animals, provided these are to be found within the onboard database, allowing users to quickly recognize and identify most commonly encountered species, and providing them with summary information regarding these species’ habits, uses, and potential risks. They also provide solid visual aid, offering built-in zoom, night-and-lowlight-vision, and general rangefinder information, which when combined with their durable construction make them ideal for wear amid rugged conditions and environments.
