Quality viewfinder integrated in Oakley shades

[arkham]

Ok,one last crazy (stupid?) idea: what about integrating a quality viewfinder LCD screen inside Oakley shades. This would be pretty cool for steadycam operators operating in sunlight...

Steadicam operators usually want's to see where they are going

Well, something like that already exists, albeit NOT Oakley or RED quality:

They work, and have some real value when something like that is required (need to monitor what's going on around you, AND see/monitor video), but quality sure could be improved.

As a steadycam operator myself, I know what you mean. But I never implied the LCD monitor should be the only thing you see It could take only a fraction of your angle of view, or be semi-transparent or whatever else you can come up with as a solution. The thing is: for framing purposes when the sun is shining bright, I think this would be cool

I see they do have better quality ones now:

Specifically, the Tek Gear M1 RS 170, and MicroOptical SV-6 .
