One-Way Visor: Difference between revisions

A visor is a piece of eyewear that covers at least both eyes and the bridge of the nose. It's like a pair of goggles, but with temple-arms. Visor also refers to the faceplate of a helmet, the part that can be raised or lowered. This is about both kinds, specifically, ones that are opaque on one side (although, for all we know, it's opaque on both sides, so it doesn't have to be confirmed to be one-way), which is often--butoften—but not necessarily--connotednecessarily—connoted by a gold, silver, or obsidian mirror effect. Opaque, spherical helmets also count. [[Schizo -Tech|Bonus points if the technology to do this shouldn't have been invented yet]].

* At various points throughout the ''[[Ghost in Thethe Shell]]'' [[The Multiverse|multiverse]], Motoko is seen using one sooner or later.

* Geordi laForge's VISOR from ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation]]'' is a subversion; he's [[Blind Without'Em|literally blind without it]]. It isn't actually transparent from the other side, but a sensor array that relays data to neural implants to give a blind person vision.

* Bekhesh from ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]''. Production notes indicates that it's a cybernetic replacement for the top of his head.

* [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk]].

* [[Warhammer 40000|Warhammer 40,000]] unsurprisingly features many such helmets. The Dark Eldar are especially fond of these, with mirrored full-face masks common among Reaver jetbike pilots, and most of the Haemonculi "creations" such as [[The Renfield|Wracks]] and [[Was Once a Man|Grotesques]] have blank visors surgically implanted over their faces.

* [[Space Marines|Terran Marines]] from ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'' have this. In ''[[StarcraftStarCraft II]]'', Banshee and [[Transforming Mecha|Viking]] pilots have this when their ships are invisible or transformed, respectively.

Most prominently, the T-51b [[Powered Armor]] (it's on the front of the box for [[Fallout 1 (Video Game)|the original]] and the [[Fallout 3|second sequel]], after all). It's got a sort of squinty, angry-eyes look to it.

* Godot from ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]: Trials and Tribulations'' wears a visor consisting of three horizontal, red, glowing lines. {{spoiler|It allows him to see since he lost his vision due to poison, but he can't see red on a white background.}}

* The alien cabbie from ''[[Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger]]''.
