Abstract
Abstract An aid for positioning a user's head with respect to a remote object is described. The device comprises a visor, having front and back edges, the visor being attached at its back edge to a headpiece. A pair of spaced line markings are provided on the underside of the visor, the markings being located substantially equidistant from an axis extending between the front and back edges and bisecting the visor. The distance between the markings closest to the back edge of the visor substantially corresponds to the distance between the eyes of the user.
