The American company Hypergiant Industries, which develops technologies related to artificial intelligence, has created a prototype of a HyperVSR helmet for a space suit, equipped with a head-up display system, which can be very useful for complex space missions. The transparent visor of this helmet can display, for example, information about a person's vital signs or other data.
According to the executive director of Hypergiant Industries Ben Lamm, such a helmet can improve not only the efficiency of astronauts, but also their safety, visually displaying vital signs and information for the crew members, minimizing the amount of unnecessary body movements.
Safety in space comes first
The helmet itself comes complete with special compact tags. By placing these marks on the gloves of the spacesuit and looking at one of them, the astronaut will be able to obtain information, for example, about his vital signs, emergency alerts and, in general, about the data of the passing mission. The helmet is equipped with special sensors that monitor which mark the person is looking at, and then displays the corresponding information on the head-up display.
At the moment, Hypergiant is improving the software for the helmet, and is also actively looking for space agencies and military contractors potentially interested in their development.
