Okay, I did, but I'm still not quite sure how they circumvent the laws of physics. Light that falls outside the pupil can't really end up on the retina, can it?


I can imagine it's cool of they presumably have a really wide AFoV as well - real starwalk kind of stuff.



However, they say it adds a further 1.2 magnitudes to the naked eye, whereas a 50mm pair of binos would add 4.4 magnitudes which I think might be more useful than the incredibly large field of view.


Look, I'd love to try them - 36 degrees TFoV sounds amazing! Heck, maybe I'll even get some one day, but I'm looking for something to help me see enough of a constellation to star-hop to targets.
