A Comparison of Visual Acuity Performance between a Binocular Night Vision Goggle and Two Types of Monocular Night Vision Goggles

Abstract

Two experiments were run comparing the operational binoculars AN/PVS-5 Night Vision Goggles with two monocular low cost night vision goggles using newer light intensification techniques. No decrement in performance was noted in visual acuity or depth perception with the monocular low cost goggles; an improved capability was noted with the new goggles in low light level conditions.
