New DARPA Project to Make Eyeglasses-size Night Vision Goggles Our Bureau 3676
Night Vision Goggles (US Army)
DARPA has announced an Enhanced Night Vision in eyeglass form (ENVision) program to create lightweight Night Vision Glasses (NVG)s that offer a wide field of view (FOV) across multiple infrared (IR) spectrum bands without needing separate optics for each IR band.
The goal is to enable night vision through fog, dust, and other obscurants as well as provide thermal vision – all via a single flat lens. The ENVision will substitute current NVGs known to cause neck strain due to the weight of the optics in them besides restricting the FOV to a mere 40-degree.
Olivia Chadha’s heartfelt, adroit, brisk and thoughtful debut novel proves that everything old is new again. While its “Clutian Real Year” (i.e., the headspace and zeitgeist that birthed it and which provided its themes) is definitely 2020, its soul and blood and sinews are somewhere back in 1985, with the nascent

Of course, it also remains sexy and captivating on a narrative, SFX level. The pioneers of this subgenre built well.
