A helmet accessory mounting system includes a mounting device configured to couple to an outer surface of a side of a helmet. The mounting device includes a plurality of mounting locations configured to removeably couple to at least one accessory. A plurality of the plurality of mounting locations each includes an electrical node. A power supply is coupled to the mounting device. An electrical supply line electrically couples the power supply to each of the electrical nodes and the electrical supply line is contained at least partially within the mounting device.

A hard hat with symmetric front and back mounting ridges to support a headlamp is described. The hard hat provides mounting ridges to receive insertion slots of a rigid mounting bracket that fit around the ridges. The rigid mounting bracket includes channels to loop a strap through the channels and support a lamp on the bracket. The strap may include a hook and loop fastener system to enable attachment of a variety of lamps to the rigid support bracket. In this way, the hard hat can support a wide variety of headlamps attached to the rigid mounting bracket without destructive alterations to the hard hat. Clips may be added to the rigid mounting bracket to secure or lock the bracket in place during operation and prevent accidental knocks or jarring of the headlamp.

A rugged integrated helmet vision system includes an accessory connector for connecting an accessory such as a heads-up display (HUD) device to a helmet worn by a user. The accessory connector includes a connector arm assembly with a portion that attaches the connector to the helmet, and another portion that attaches the accessory to the connector. The portions each provide multiple degrees of freedom of movement to allow adjustment of the connector with respect to the helmet, and adjustment of the accessory with respect to an eye of the user. The connector also provides the ability to lock positions of and the degrees of freedom of movement of the connector arm assembly via a single locking actuator with one-handed operation. In embodiments, a control box computer system at the helmet communicates with various soldier-portable networks to send and receive information for display by a HUD device accessory.

A viewing system intended to interact with a cranial mount, the viewing system includes a detachable displaying device, comprising: a combiner, placed in front of one eye of the user, and able to place information in superposition with an exterior view, the viewing system comprising a removable mounting interface configured to associate the displaying device with a plurality of cranial mounts among at least a helmet, a headband and a head-harness frame.

An augmented-reality system is combined with a surveying system to make measurement and/or layout at a construction site more efficient. A reflector can be mounted to a wearable device having an augmented-reality system. A total station can be used to track a reflector, and truth can be transferred to the wearable device while an obstruction is between the total station and the reflector. Further, a target can be used to orient a local map of a wearable device to an environment based on a distance between the target and the wearable device.

Rider location and acceleration sharing systems are provided herein. For instance, a system is paired with a wireless transceiver, mountable to or within headwear that outputs location data and accelerometer data associated with the user identity to a user device. Once members of the group of user devices are validated for movement together, an emergency event associated with a member of the group may be identified based on the accelerometer data or the location data, and, in response to the emergency event, emergency event data is sent to the respective other user devices, and other information is enabled to be received from any of the respective other user devices.

A protective helmet, particularly a motorbike protective helmet, comprising an outer shell (1) for the distribution of impact forces, the outer shell (1) comprising a chin shell region (2) for covering a chin part of the person wearing the protective helmet, wherein the outer shell (1) comprises a viewing opening (3) arranged above the chin shell region (2), for the person wearing the protective helmet to see through, and the protective helmet has a slot (4a) with a slot shape for interlockingly receiving an electronic module (5a) corresponding to the slot shape, said slot (4a) comprising a slot opening substantially bordering an edge of the viewing opening (3). The protective helmet comprises another slot (4b) having another slot opening substantially bordering the edge of the viewing opening (3) and having the slot shape for interlockingly receiving another electronic module (5b) corresponding to the slot shape.

A remotely controllable wireless camera system that may be mounted on an emergency worker or on the emergency worker's helmet. The system includes a digital camera and an infrared camera. The system is connected to a network and live-streams video via the network and a server in real-time.

In an embodiment, a gyro sensor or virtual joystick controlled smart helmet may include a motorized and handsfree livestream video stabilization multi-camera system which can be remotely operated over a network. The gyro sensor or virtual joystick controlled smart helmet having a motorized moveable camera, a two way display communication unit via a OLED screen and 360 degree camera combination to enable Augmented Reality, a video and audio transmission system, a reflector for visibility in low light, a rechargeable battery, a carbon fiber plate for protection against battery malfunction, a headphone connection jack, a SIM card slot, a helmet power on/off switch, a power connector, a micro-gimbal camera module, a Bluetooth and Wi-Fi module, 6 way livestream stabilization using a combination of motors which double up to ensure that the smart helmet can be remotely controlled over a network using a custom application interface.

A modular shroud system includes a shroud configured to be coupled to a helmet. The modular shroud system further includes a plate configured to be detachably coupled to the shroud. The plate may be configured to be detached from the shroud while the shroud is coupled to the helmet.
