but anyway in reality all you need is two lenses....i dont know what the 3rd lens on sam's goggles is for

[Radeon_2005]

Well at first I thought one was used for themral one for nightvision and one for eev. Then I started to really think. Why the hell do you need 5 lens on the googles in VERUS mode? lol

[Rbdb1R]

Actually, this topic's been covered quite frequently. In reality, you only NEED 1 lens. Two lenses (one for each eye) gives better perspective and a broader field of view, however. The third lens is an IR emitter. It's like an IR flashlight so the goggles are effective when there is zero (or close to it) available light for the goggles to amplify. When using this IR light, someone else using IR goggles would also see the light emitted for the lens (possibly much like the IR cameras in the Penthouse (I think that was the level) of single player.

If I remember right they had to talk Tom Clancy into letting them use three lenses because he said it was unrealistic. Are there any real goggles in existence that have the three lenses?

It wasn't the fact it was three lenses, it was because it has Thermal and night vision in one set of goggles. But Clancy let them have it for gameplay, since it would be a pain to keep switiching goggles just for different visions.
