Although portrayed as such, Tactical Shades do not offer any actual augmented reality or Heads Up Display (HUD) enhancements when worn and are purely cosmetic.The augmented reality module appears to be inspired by the 'Goggle Mounted Display' (GMD) designed by Vuzix, a multinational technology company based in the United States.Regardless of lens, both variants weigh the same with a 'mass' of 2 units. There is also an alternate sub-variant with a fully-transparent lens. Utilising an augmented reality module, Tactical Shades are designed to enhance the wearer's situational awareness while shielding their eyes from sunlight.
