You know what I want?

I want a "Heads Up Disply" for my goggles with a timer, a game counter, and a tactical display for where the good angles are. :) Not to mentino the radio system for big games...

I've wanted this for 5 years! Why won't ANYONE do it?!?!?

A HUD for your goggs...

I did actually come up with a design for a HUD, but the prototype weighed a tonne and I didn't manage to improve on it when I had the time.

However, I am now in a company with an awful lot of electrical engineers, so I might be able to improve on it. I've already got one lot of people working on the comms gear!

The big problem is getting part of the lens to reflect the info at a distance that is big enough to allow the eye to focus on it. The only way I could do that the first time was to put it outside the mask and that was a big no-no. The other problem was getting the info bright enough that it could be read in bright/direct sunlight. It was ok in low light conditions, but crap at noon.

I think I might have to go back to the drawing board this winter and see what I can come up with.

True - You'd think someone could come up with a game timer that would clip under your goggles. All it would need is a start stop function on it......

Re: the radios Why not use the old motorola cbs ala Ref wear. they work pretty well for airsoft. :) they have hands free and everythin. :D
