     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS.  1  through  5    thereof, a new aiming device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS.  1  through  5   , the real time aiming assembly  10  generally comprises a firearm  12  that has a barrel  14  and a grip  16 . The firearm  12  may be a handgun of any conventional design, including semi-automatic handguns and revolvers. A firearm motion sensor  18  is provided and the firearm motion sensor  18  is integrated into the firearm  12 . The firearm motion sensor  18  is calibrated to sense a firing axis of the barrel  14  to determine the target of the firearm  12 . The firearm motion  18  sensor may be positioned on a lower side of a slide of the semi-automatic handgun and the firearm motion sensor  18  may be positioned on a lower side of a barrel of the revolver. The firearm motion sensor  18  comprises a target control circuit  20  that is integrated into the firearm  12 . The firearm motion sensor  18  includes a pressure sensor  22  that is integrated into the grip  16  to sense when the user is gripping the grip  16  for operating the firearm  12 . The pressure sensor  22  is electrically coupled to the target control circuit  20  and the pressure sensor  22  may comprise an electronic pressure sensor with a trigger pressure of approximately  250 . 0  grams. Additionally, the target control circuit  20  is turned on when the pressure sensor  22  senses the trigger pressure. 
     The firearm motion sensor  18  includes a target accelerometer  24  that is integrated into the firearm  12  and the target accelerometer  24  senses acceleration about nine different axis. The target accelerometer  24  is electrically coupled to the target control circuit  20  and the target control circuit  20  analyzes acceleration data from the target accelerometer  24  to generate a target signal. In this way the target control circuit  20  can determine where a bullet fired from the firearm  12  will strike. The firearm motion sensor  18  includes a firearm transceiver  26  that is integrated into the firearm  12  and the firearm transceiver  26  is electrically coupled to the target control circuit  20 . The firearm transceiver  26  broadcasts the targeting signal received from the target control circuit  20 , and the firearm transceiver  26  may comprise a radio frequency transceiver or the like. The firearm motion sensor  18  includes a firearm power supply  28  which is integrated into the firearm  12 . The firearm power supply  28  is electrically coupled to the target control circuit  20  and the firearm power supply  28  comprises at least one battery. 
     A pair of glasses  40  is provided that are wearable on a user&#39;s face. The pair of glasses  40  has a frame  44 , a pair of temples  46  and a pair of lenses  48 . Each of the lenses  48  is comprised of a translucent material to facilitate the user to see through the lenses  48 . The pair of glasses  40  may comprise safety glasses that are commonly worn on a shooting range, for example, or other eyewear that would commonly be worn while operating a firearm. A glasses motion sensor  50  is integrated into the pair of glasses  40  and the glasses motion sensor  50  is calibrated to sense a viewing axis of the pair of glasses  40 . In this way the glasses motion sensor  50  can determine the line of the user. 
     The glasses motion sensor  50  comprises a glasses control circuit  52  that is integrated into the frame  44 . The glasses motion sensor  50  includes an aiming accelerometer  54  that is integrated into the frame  44  and the aiming accelerometer  54  senses acceleration about nine different axis. The aiming accelerometer  54  is electrically coupled to the glasses control circuit  52  and the glasses control circuit  52  analyzes acceleration data from the aiming accelerometer  54  to generate a viewing signal. In this way the glasses control circuit  52  determines the line of sight of the user when the user is wearing the glasses  40 . A digital camera  55  may be integrated into the frame  44  of pair of glasses  40  and the digital camera  55  may be electrically coupled to the glasses control circuit  52 . The glasses control circuit  52  may employ imagery captured by the digital camera  55  for determining the line of sight of the user. 
     The glasses motion sensor  50  includes a glasses transceiver  56  that is integrated into the frame  44  and the glasses transceiver  56  is electrically coupled to the glasses control circuit  52 . The glasses transceiver  56  is in wireless communication with the firearm transceiver  26  such that the glasses transceiver  56  receives the targeting signal. Furthermore, the glasses control circuit  52  compares the targeting signal with the viewing signal to determine a target of the firearm  12 . The glasses transceiver  56  may comprise a radio frequency transceiver or the like and the glasses transceiver  56  may have an operational frequency that is calibrated to the operational frequency of the firearm transceiver  26 . The glasses motion sensor  50  includes a glasses power supply  58  that is integrated into the frame  44 . The glasses power supply  58  is electrically coupled to the glasses control circuit  52  and the glasses power supply  58  comprises at least one rechargeable battery. 
     A display unit  60  is integrated into the glasses  40  and the display unit  60  is in communication with the glasses motion sensor  50 . The display unit  60  projects a dot onto a respective one of the lenses  48  having the dot corresponding to the viewing axis of the glasses  40 . In this way the display unit  60  can display precisely where the bullet fired from the firearm  12  will strike. The display unit  60  is integrated into a respective one of the lenses  48  and the display unit  60  is comprised of translucent material. In this way the display unit  60  facilitates the user to see through the display unit  60 . The display unit  60  is electrically coupled to the glasses control circuit  52  and the display unit  60  displays the dot at a location which corresponds to the target of the firearm  12  which was determined by the glasses control circuit  52 . The display unit  60  may comprise a translucent liquid crystal display or other type of electronic display. 
     In use, the firearm transceiver  26  begins broadcasting the targeting signal when the pressure sensor  22  senses that the user is gripping the grip  16 . The display unit  60  displays the dot at a location on the respective lens  48  which corresponds to the aiming of the firearm  12 . In this way the user can see precisely where the bullet that is fired from the firearm  12  will strike. Thus, the accuracy of firing the firearm  12  is increased as compared to firing the firearm  12  with conventional optics or sights. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
