Talk:Night vision goggles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"There are currently goggles that combine both of these technologies to create images that are almost as clear as day." Both of which technologies? The article lists three.--SpacemanAfrica 19:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the third example (heat-sensing), since these are generally not considered night vision devices according to the Night vision article itself. However I'm not sure if the sentence refers to the 2 remaining technologies. —Squalla 20:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Active googles giving away position?

I have not found anything about it, but I would guess that active goggles would show an enemy where the user was (similar to using a flash light/electric torch). This would require another set of night vision goggles or just an IR camera. --Midnightcomm 03:06, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

I seem to recall a Military Channel documentary saying the same thing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.237.198.11 (talk • contribs) .

I know nothing about this topic but I've always wondered why no one sees Sam Fisher and the 3 green lights on his head saying "please aim and shoot at my brain".

The three lights on Sam's head are for the player to indentify Sam's location. If it were real, he would not glow (same for the radio on his back, and the OPSAT on his wrist).
