If you rule (as I do) that Thermographic vision is affected by the Invisibility and
Improved Invisibility spells, then with the standard Invisibility spell, yes, goggles
would see through it. However, Improved Invisibility would still fool such devices.
That's the difference between standard and Improved Invisibility - Improved affects
technological devices, whereas standard only affects living beings.
