Infrared goggles are cool. Always have been, great for night raids when you’re trying to be sneaky. But, light amp are good too, because those give actual night vision. Last I checked, infrared doesn’t boost your vision range in dark at all, just pops up all the heat signatures. Useful, but really, shouldn’t the infrared goggles also give you at least a small boost to how far you can see in the darkness?  
Regardless of whether or not the imaging is done with the blue/green/reds of this style, like this

or the more modern gray, white, and black style

You can see the area around the place you’re looking at as well.  
So, I guess that changing the goggles to see more around you, or making something that’s like light amp and infrared goggles in one would be cool is what I’m saying.  
Edit; doesn’t look like one of the images is embedding, so here it is. [https://imgur.com/ggDKhG6](https://imgur.com/ggDKhG6)
