Among other functions, VISR also provides navigational data and highlights various points of interest in the operational area. As of ODST BIOS update A29.817941B.01 it also features light enhancement systems, raising the brightness of the surrounding area on the user's [[heads-up display]] during low-light operations. VISR's low-light vision enhancement also links with the user's [[neural interface]] to provide Friend or Foe designation by searching for [[IFF]] transponders on friendly or enemy personnel. Enemy and friendly personnel and matériel are highlighted with different colors. Friendly combatants are highlighted in green whereas enemy combatants are highlighted in red. Usable weapons, vehicles, and medical kits are highlighted in blue; other objects and structures are highlighted in orange; beacons and data terminals are highlighted in yellow.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/odst/guide.aspx '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo 3: ODST Project Page'']</ref> | Among other functions, VISR also provides navigational data and highlights various points of interest in the operational area.
