History Main / StatOVision

* ''VideoGame/NoMansSky'' has a Scanner accessory for your Multi-Tool that allows you to bring up a first person scanner visor. This visor shows you information such as planet-relative time of the day, temperature, how much time you have before your Exosuit's hazardous environment shields run out of power and your health starts dropping, location of mineral deposits, points of interest and player-defined waypoints, and it also shows you information about whatever you have on your scanner's central sight, such as chemical composition of minerals or behavior information about an animal species. In addition, for every new mineral, plant or animal you scan, you will receive Nanite Clusters that function as currency to purchase upgrades for your Multi-Tool, Exosuit or spaceship.

What!? 9000!? There's no way that can be right!

Whether it's thanks to a RoboCam, a mystical talisman, or a [[ElectronicEyes cyborg eye]], the character is privy to an EnemyScan that shows their opponent's height, weight, age, fighting style, [[PersonalityBloodTypes blood type]] and [[{{ArsonMurderAndJaywalking}} preferred brand of chewing gum]]. Expect any readings to be a RandomPowerRanking; if the opponent is weaker, expect {{Trash Talk}}ing (and eating of crow once it turns out they're [[IAmNotLeftHanded Not Left Handed]]) and if they're much, much stronger cries of "[[ReadingsAreOffTheScale It's Over Nine Thousand!!!]]" with the prompt [[ExplosiveInstrumentation over]][[ReadingsBlewUpTheScale loading]] of the device.

* Pokedexes serve this purpose in both the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime and the ''Manga/PokemonSpecial'' manga.

* Shows up in the VisualNovel of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': All Masters in the Holy Grail War are able to read and store information such as the status and abilities of all Servants they've encountered. It's also explicitly stated that there is no unified system for it: No two Masters see this info in the same way and each have their own system for actualizing this data in a way they can understand. [[TheHero Shirou]] uses a fantasy RPG-style grading system that ranges from A to E, with [[RankInflation a separate "EX" rank]] for cases that are to special rules or are outright unquantifiable. Of course, in ''LightNovel/FateZero'', everyone suddenly speaks in that RPG-style system, because its what the fans are used to.

** [[ChivilrousPervert Kagura's]] stat-o-vision has a very specific setting - identifying female opponents' measurements in his match intro scenes.

* ''Franchise/BlazBlue'': [[ChivilrousPervert Kagura's]] stat-o-vision has a very specific setting - identifying female opponents' measurements in his match intro scenes.

* ''MetalGearSolid'' has several examples:

* In The 24th Pegasus's [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/389502/numbers Numbers]], Fluttershy starts seeing numbers ticking down over various ponies' heads after having her life saved in the nick of time by another pony. She quickly figures out that they [[DeathsHourglass indicate how much time a pony has left to live]] - and Rainbow Dash's number is very low, only a day away, meaning she will have to work fast to figure out what is going to kill her friend and stop it from happening.

* In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', [[BadassBiker turbo duelists]] have helmets that provide stats for enemy monsters. In ''Anime/YuGiOhZexal'', the augmented reality visors perform the same function as they display the monsters for the duelists.

* ''Film/StrangerThanFiction'' has a variable of this. Harold Crick is an I.R.S. auditor who, due to his boring life or just why he's good at his job, frequently sees the world in numbers and measurements. The thing is that what he detects are seemingly random, like number of steps taken (and that are left) to his bus stop, a pictorial readout of tying a Half-Windsor, math in his head next to his head. It's not vital information, but more of just an example of how his brain works. He is subtly irritated (and this is WillFerrell we're talking about) when a college professor keeps asking how many steps he counted while they had a conversation. He wasn't counting tiles; he was measuring percentages of soap left in dispensers. It's not a compulsion and it's not always the same thing, he's not Rain Man. Used less and less as the movie goes on.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'', which began as a straight-up spoof of ''Dungeons & Dragons'' from the goblins' point of view, all of the characters are GenreSavvy to the point of worshipping the Dungeon Master, consciously levelling up, and, in particular, being able to see numerals representing negative hit points hovering over unconscious or wounded characters.

** The Analyzer in ''MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' and the [=IntScope=] in ''MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' allow you to analyze enemy soldiers for a readout of their skills and proficiency in each field, from combat to medicinal, in the form of vertical bars and grades from E to S++.

* ''Film/TheRundown'' has Beck (Wrestling/DwayneJohnson) comment on the entire offensive line of Notre Dame with various sports commentator stats showing up for each of them. After he mops the floor with them when they try to stop him from collecting a loan's collateral, his own {{Badass}} stats show up. [[HiddenDepths He likes cooking.]]

* Dororo in ''Manga/KeroroGunsou'' executes this as "Assassin Magic" without using ''any external device.'' And it comes up as a digital display instead of [[Manga/DeathNote Shinigami Eyes]] or anything non-technical.

* In ''VideoGame/AliensVsPredator'' (2010), the Predator can enter "Focus Mode" which allows him to identify his enemy's equipment. Mostly useless, except to find out if an NPC Marine is equipped with a motion tracker.
