You let your targetting system detect the bounced IR beam and do the
calculations.  All you get to see is the height, range, locked cross-hairs
or whatever on your display.  One benefit (amongst the many) of wearable
computers is that they both extend the spectrum you can perceive and
can offload some of the processing of the incoming data.
