Wireless hands-free portable headset computer with microdisplay
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11947387B2) describes a headset computer system designed for use with headgear, such as a helmet. The system consists of three separate housings - one housing with a processor, another with a boom containing a microdisplay and microphone, and a third housing with a power supply. These housings can be individually attached to the headgear using fasteners, with the first housing attaching to one pad on the headgear and the third housing attaching to another pad. The system also includes noise cancellation circuits, a camera, light source, and the ability to retrofit existing headgear to include the headset computer functionality.
The headset computer system's unique design allows for flexibility and customization, with the ability to attach and detach the individual housings as needed. The system can be retrofitted onto existing headgear, providing users with enhanced functionality without the need to purchase entirely new equipment. The inclusion of noise cancellation circuits and additional features like a camera and light source further enhance the system's capabilities. Overall, this patented technology offers a versatile and adaptable solution for integrating computer functionality into headgear, catering to a wide range of potential applications and user needs.
