+## Description:
+
+Augmented and virtual reality eyewear, which is issued to each citizen of 4th Earth, whether they are a resident of The Cradle or not. Not a single design, but limited: "larger, more encompassing" versus "Goggles almost disappeared against their ebony skin. If it weren't for the reflection and highlights of the lens material, one would not be criticized for thinking they weren’t wearing goggles at all."
+
+"The weight of his Citizen Goggles added a welcome pressure to his eye sockets."
+
+"The goggles each of them wore rendered their physical limitations moot. They didn’t even need to occupy the same space to interact with a projection, because it existed in the augmented reality provided by their goggles."
+
+"A notification appeared in Lafit's Citizen Goggles informing her she had earned three credits for answering correctly. Had Url and the Credit System determined the answer was incorrect, she would have received one credit for the attempt in the classroom context."
+
+“The Inventory System is part of the Collective Conscious. Without getting technical, it holds a list of all tangible things the Collective Conscious has been made aware of. The Collapsible Cup, the tree behind me, and so on all have entries in this system. There are also entries for each of us—at least in this classroom or who wear or have been *seen* by Citizen Goggles."
+
+[What the Collective Conscious knows of you, which] "if you were born in The Cradle, is pretty much everything you’ve ever said, seen, or done."
+
+## Immutable aspects:
+
+- Send and receive text-based messages via near-field communication; mesh network.
+  - Chat with Collective Conscious; see send and receive text-based messages
+- Receive text-based notifications from modifications (software applications) as a result of actions or events.
+- Display personalized perspective of a shared augmented reality shared by multiple people, or share the same experience across multiple people.
+- Participate in transactions via the Credit System.
+- Bone conduction speakers for individual listening for alarms.
+- Augmented reality projections; walking paths, instructional overlays and animations.
+- Registers when a citizen isn't wearing them.
+- Monitors whether the citizen is asleep or awake.
+- Vertical lights on either side: Colors include white, red, green, or amber.
+- Access instructions and process checklists via the Maintenance System.One or more front-facing cameras; cannot read lips: "Most of the sounds we make rely on breath, vocal cords, tongue positioning, and teeth; not the shape of our lips. The goggles can’t calculate all that, no matter how many cameras they have."
+- Indicate how long something has been somewhere: "Opening it, she discovered rags were already there, but her goggles confirmed they had not been there long enough to need another cycle. Lafit opened the small dryer next to the washer and was relieved to find it empty."
+- Display transgression or lawbreaking and redemption status to others: "As she jogged through the passageway, she passed someone running in the other direction. They seemed to be upset and nervous, and the word “Thief” was emblazoned on the lenses of their goggles. The single word was large and bright red, indicating it was a recent event."
+- Biometric detail to verify weaer is steward of goggles.
+
+## Additional aspects:
+
+- Project sound via a projection speaker running the width of the goggles.
+- Microphone capable of "Communication Link," which allows citizens to whisper to one or more citizens as if they were next to each other (sensitivity and isolation), a phone call.
+- Biomarker data collection and feedback.
+- Rear-facing camera.Headlamp running the width of the goggles above the projection speakers for seeing in dimly lit areas.
+
+Considering:
+
+- Cameras covering a 360 degree view of the outside world.
+- Two sets. One with all immutable and additional aspects, one without the additional aspects; failure consideration.
+- Initial pair issued at age 3, updated refitted at age 18.
