Those dang depthfinders are too small, so I upgraded to 42" flat screens. All I need is an Xbox controller to mark waypoints.

I'm still holding out for the virtual reality glasses...all you have to do is look down and you can see everything in the water as if the water wasn't there.

Funny you mention that, I was reading an article in Popular Mechanics the other day about the new helmets that pilots flying the F-35 are wearing.  They can look down and "see" what's below the plane as if the plane wasn't there.  The helmet connects to outside sensors on the aircraft.  Helmets cost about $400,000.00 each which is outside my budget.

Actually this tech already exists.  You can get freakishly close to what you're describing with a GoPro or two, the new samsung VR and a pool noodle.

kinda fun if you're bored and the fish have lockjaw.
