The glasses I refer to are yellow tinted and made of a plastic type material. They are styled like some safety glasses, but I don't think they are approved for use as safety galsses. They allow the wearer to see the little red dot better in a facility's better lighter areas.

believe the price then was about $650. They have come down, but not enough for
me to afford a good one for personal use. I would love to have one. The only
problems I remember when using it was, even wearing the laser enhancing glasses,
it was sometimes difficult to find the little red dot when using outdoors or a
brightly lighted facility. Also, if you set it on a surface that may be
vibrating from machiney running even little bit, it would be difficut to aim the
red dot where you wanted it. Anyway, I found it to be a very useful instrument.
Evidently others found it useful also, you had to reserve it days in advance in
order to get it. With it, I was able to get measurements affecting my design
that I would normally been unable to ac

I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to having to wear special glasses, that's completely nerdlike. I wear those all the time.
My experience with these things is that they are really useful (when I'm out in the field I like to depend on myself and not someone else).
Lasing a moving target would seem to be a bad idea and I wouldn't expect that to reflect reality. My experience with these things is that those that have access to them tend to jealously guard them.
One problem I've always seen when doing field work is communicating to the other end of the tape measure. And yes, I've "trogolyted" with a transit for elevation, that's never been the problem. Now that I recall it, I probably have forgotten.
