goggle:

sideproject:

brief:

problem:Snowboarding goggles tend to be big and bulky. This is a good thing to block the face from

wind burn. But having the lens so far away can cause some depth perception problems while riding.

idea:Create a pair of goggles that are stylish but do not stick off the riders head as far. Giving the rider the best of both worlds, less depth perception problems but still

enough
