tag question: eyewear

Posted under General

i'll just ask if there's a name for star trek's eyewear in post #1074591 or cyclops (x-men) in post #464719. i think visor is fine but the wiki says it's a type of capless hat. should we modify the wiki to include types like these or add a qualifier? but what qualifier? or there's an existing tag for this? thanks.

I've been using the head mounted display tag from Misaka imouto's headpiece as something along these lines for the thing worn by Mecha Chihaya. That might work here too, or if not, perhaps we can modify it into something that would work for all these more or less functionally identical electronic headpieces.

It's probably still ambiguous to just use visor as that term also applies to a style of sunglasses and to helmet face-guards.

imho, grouping visor_(eyewear) and visor_(armor) together under eye_visor is still just as ambiguous as under plain visor.

i would suggest keep visor_(armor) for those knight-related pieces of armor. visor_(eyewear) or eye_visor or visor_sunglasses can be used for the transparent/tinted eyewear for simple eye protection. head_mounted_display for those (often bulky) electronic gadgets or which suggests other functions aside from eye protection. and maybe visor_(face_shield) / visor_(face_guard) for visor that covers the entire face (e.g. astronaut's, halo's)?
