Following research and development that began in a partnership with NASA, NASTEK now manufactures ski-goggle lenses that use NASA technology to optimize visibility on the slopes. In 2015, the company worked with Optic Nerve to create a line of ski goggles that are used by professional and amateur skiers and snowboarders, as well as ski patrollers.
The blue light scattered by air molecules creates a particular haze around mountainsides that interferes with human vision. NASA optical filtering technology is now used in ski goggles that can increase visual acuity and depth perception in these conditions by an average of 12–15 percent.
