I never understood this design “development”. Clone trooper helmets provided a far superior field of view, especially the later ones that look like an intermittent stage. Why would seeing less be an advancement? I can agree on whatever other technological improvements the new ones bring, but they would still be better spent by going into an old style helmet
Ultimately I know of course it’s the rule of cool, but still.
I have always assumed they were looking at a washed out, faded display screen that kind of flickered occasionally and showed them a view of the surrounding area but not necessarily what they were looking at.
I’ve always assumed that those aren’t eye holes. It would make sense for them to have a display screen that displays their view, overlayed with tactical information and a targeting reticule. But given their aim, I think you’re right and they’re just eye holes with sunglasses material over them.
