You'll laugh when you read about the contribution our feathered avian friends have made to the spy game. Osterhout Design Group is located in San Francisco. OSG R-6 Smart Glasses $4,946.00  Eyeballing game Those of you who build things as a creative outlet will have fun with this game. Can you tell if an angle is not square? Do you notice when a picture at your house is not straight? Some call it a curse, always lining things up. I prefer to think of it as a talent.
