Research abstract
It is the purpose of this proposal to develop the key technologies required to construct a man-portable advanced multimedia imaging helmet system. We will develop and demonstrate three helmet designs including a monocle headset, a goggle headset, and a face plate. These three helmet platforms will be founded on the miniaturized CPU, communications, display, audio, and sensor technologies established and tested in this proposal. The multimedia helmet will be capable of using sensor data and user input to access remote expert systems. This system will be ideal for central or distributed precision team coordination. We feel that the use of this system will strongly improve the overall ability and safety of individuals or teams in the areas of military operations, police/FBI activities, fire fighting, and shipboard or dockside operations. The advanced multimedia imaging helmet systems would have tremendous commercial appeal in the areas of education, medical care, and emergency management institutions. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS: Police/FBI/SWAT Emergency scene coordination; Firefighters; EMTs Educational learning tool.
