Now, the bit about visible targets does leave open the possibility of using AR goggles, with some sort of AR effect to block your view of friendly targets while you cast the spell :)

There have been similar ideas in previous editions ... however, people don't tend to be 100% immobile and spells aren't cast in no-time ...
I as GM would require preception tests to determine whether or not you successfully "block" you vision on individual targets ... and since AR is a HUD-like technology you'd always be able to look through icons in AR ...

There's a comment on the SR homepage FAQ on this sort of trick. I think it's written for SR3 rather than SR4 but essentially it says you can but you take penalties. The logic being that by trying to limit the spell in that way you're likely to fizzle the spell altogether and take drain anyway.
