A while back I learned that chitons have hundred's of small eyes that allows them to perceive the outside world without compromising the there armors integrity. This has also lead to some speculation and research, actually producing armored goggles that mimic chitons are a long way off. But assuming that we have the capability to manufacture such goggles/visors, what would the ideal shape be for eye protection?
Would they be slanted on a 45 degree angle? Would they wrap around they eyes like modern goggles?
Some assumptions:
- Armor has advanced far enough to justify implementing such technology.
- The vision the goggles give are good enough to be used for military applications.
- The artificial chiton eyes do not impact the armors integrity at all, or very little.
