== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* 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.
* All heroes in [[Toku]] series (''[[Power Rangers]], [[Super Sentai]], [[Kamen Rider]], ''the'' [[Ultra Series]],'' and many more.) Interestingly, some heroes' visors or eyepieces look like they'd be very hard to see through '''because they are.''' Suit actors have more skill than you think.
* The Stig from ''[[Top Gear]]''.
* Bekhesh from ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]''. Production notes indicates that it's a cybernetic replacement for the top of his head.
* The [[Mooks]], and the heroes' [[Powered Armor]] in ''[[Captain Power and Thethe Soldiers of The Future (TV)|Captain Power and The Soldiers of Thethe Future]]''.

* Quarian helmets from ''[[Mass Effect]]''. However, looking ''very'' closely vaguely shows eyes and a nose.
* RiG helmets from ''[[Dead Space (Franchiseseries)|Dead Space]]''.
* Sanctioned Psyker helmets from ''[[Dawn of War]]''. Their helmets are probably all opaque, as it's heavily decorated with imperial religeous ioconography to keep them from exploding or being possessed.

Line 77:

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.
* Sam's prototype [[Powered Armor]] from [[Vanquish]].
* The Purple Bird in ''[[Angry Birds|Angry Birds in Space]]''.
* 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.}}
 
== [[Web Comics]] ==
Line 101:
* The alien cabbie from ''[[Quentyn Quinn Space Ranger]]''.
* Arbite helmets from ''[[Servants of the Imperium]]''.
* One [[What Might Have Been]] strip for ''[[GonewithGone With the Blastwave]]'', titled "GWTBW 250k", had Gunless and Sniperguy in helmets that were featureless save for the crosshair etched in the centre and some red detailing.
* Splink from ''Zortic''. He likes weasring bizzarre makeup and/or prosthetics underneath so he can weird out people who make him take it off. The [[Continuity Reboot]]/[[Retcon]] introduces the Soykil, who have a pentagonal one as part of their uniforms.
