Interesting thought, I always thought it was the goggles. That the system
projected the targeting icon (spot, cross hair what ever) on to the inside of
the goggle lense. If you do not position the goggles just right on your head
the targeting icon would not be in the right place. With the cyber version
once calibrated the relationship between the eye and the target icon would be
set perminately.
