They're built into hardware available
now. There are fielded examples of gunsights that translate data from networked rangefinding glasses to coordinates to aim at. These rely on GPS at the moment, but it's hardly impossible to have a computer that translates "the place where these binoculars are pointed and focused, with rangefinder data" to "the settings needed for this gun to shoot there." This has been managed with COTS technology in the form of cell phones, which worries certain people in high places. (I cannot say
how I know this except to hint that I occasionally edit papers that aren't for SJ Games.)
