Third Eye

This video camera looks utterly bizarre, but I can think of a few jobs during my archaeology days where I'd have been happy to strap this to my helmet to keep my hands free.

In one case, I'd have strapped it on backwards to avoid all that tedious looking behind at what was chasing me.

What was it? A giant boulder?

See, with these action cameras, I often get the weird urge to purchase one with a set of those goggles that allow you to watch films and the like, then hook them together and try to see whether using them in that fashion could be a suitable replacement for, y'know, looking around and stuff.

Wunderbear, if you would add radar ranging and thermovision to your system, with information viewed through a head-up display, you could turn your urge into a best-selling innovation that would enable people to shoot ducks at night, and make riot suppression much more efficient, and do many other things which I cannot think of right now. But eventually it would destroy their eyes.

I saw a picture where the wire was going straight into the man's skull. It was quite scary.
