Wakeglass Rangefinding Monocle

Wakeglass Rangefinding Monocle is a sealed optical monocle that measures distance, relative motion, and angle while leaving one eye free for ladders, hand signals, and incoming trouble. It must be zeroed to the wearer and helmet; loaners produce small errors that become large ones across a docking span. Every sighted object enters a rolling cache, so the monocle can quietly become a record of who stood where when negotiations failed. A clear ceramic shell exposes the diagnostic veins underneath, beautiful until coolant dust finds the seams. Owners pay for the look twice: once at purchase, then whenever a careful technician cleans it.
