* Myths of [[The Fair Folk]] sometimes feature magical ointments which, rubbed on one's eyelids, allow one to see the faerie. One common scenario is when a man accidentally splashes some of this substance on one of his eyes, then is deprived of
Line 98:
* ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'' has Detective Mode, which has functions including X-ray, forensic tracker, vital sign monitoring, weapon detection, and even point-of-interest detection. This is treated as a combination of a scanner in Batman's cowl, and "seeing the world through Batman's eyes". The Joker, in the [[PlayStation 3]]-exclusive content, has X-ray specs which have that function and nothing else.
* ''[[Quest for Glory II]]'' has X-ray specs which can be bought at one point in the game and serve no purpose other than to [[Easter Egg|let you see]] [[Fan Service|pixelated boobies]]. And [[Karma Meter|take a bite out of your Honor]].
* One of the functions of the Demon Summoning Program in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]: Strange Journey'' is to turn the electronic HUD of your Demonica armor into one of
* In ''[[Bayonetta]]'', Luka can see the angels if he uses Cereza's glasses. Cereza herself says "[[Goggles Do Nothing|The glasses aren't magic]] silly, I can see the monsters without them".
* In ''[[Persona 4]],'' the protagonist and his [[True Companions|nakama]] are able to see inside of the T.V. world and fight the shadows there thanks to special glasses (or, at least the lenses are special) that are made by the resident mascot character, Teddie, because "he gets bored when left alone." Bonus points for, during the game's true ending, {{spoiler|having the protagonist discard his glasses--no longer needing them to see the Truth--and use his [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|eleventh hour superpower]] against the Mistress of all of the fog and mystery, Izanami}}.

* You can buy glasses that are a sort of prism. They reveal the actual colors given off by lights. These are probably using diffraction
* Polarized glasses allow you to see, among other nifty things, density distortions in glass. And it's easy to make a stronger version using something that emits polarized light to see the distortions in water caused by anything moving through it.
** There's an LCD mod where you can have your LCD seemingly emit white light and by wearing special glasses, you can see what's on the screen. It's actually taking one of the polarization filters out and turning it into glasses.
