Default Need help finding reference image

i'm trying to put together a flyer that shows my company product under some kind of scanner/electronic imaging UI that measures length, but i'll be damned if i can find something useful on Google after hours of fruitless searching. i know what i'm looking for - something sci-fi/high tech looking, and probably something akin to when you look through a digital HUD or digital binocular that provides digital readout of relevant info, but i can't seem to find it. any suggestions/references would be appreciated.

Maybe Google something more along the lines of a "coordinate measuring machine" or "automated optical inspection?"

If what you want is akin to a videogame reticle, just make one in photoshop. It really seems like the reason you can't find an example is because you are looking for something that is specifically "scifi," i.e. doesn't exist yet. So make it.

Thanks but that's the crux of the problem: the graphics artist i'm using doesn't have any reference to draw upon so i'm trying to get her some references so she can be creative. and she is unfortunately NOT a scifi fan.
