Crosshair

A crosshair is a visual indicator, typically a set of intersecting lines or a reticle, used in cameras, microscopes, and targeting systems. It helps precisely locate or aim at a specific point within the field of view. In photography and gaming, crosshairs assist with focusing or targeting objects accurately. They serve as a reference point to improve accuracy and alignment, ensuring that users can easily identify and target the desired location within an image or scene.
