HELMET SYSTEM AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A helmet system comprising:
- a shell defining an interior volume and an aperture proximal an anterior end of the shell;
a primary visor coupled to the shell and transiently arranged over the aperture;
a secondary visorarranged between the aperture and the interior volume,comprising an elongated translucent member suspended from the shell, anddefining a first discrete reflective region on a right side of the elongated translucent member and a second discrete reflective region on a left side of the elongated translucent member;
a camera coupled to the shell and defining a field of view extending outwardly from a posterior end of the shell; and
a projection system projecting an image onto the first discrete reflective region and onto the second discrete reflective region, the image comprising a subregion of a video frame recorded by the camera, the secondary visor reflecting the image toward the interior volume.

Abstract
One variation of a helmet system includes: a shell defining an interior volume and an aperture proximal an anterior end of the shell; a primary visor coupled to the shell and transiently arranged over the aperture; a secondary visor adjacent the aperture, including an elongated translucent member suspended from the shell, and defining a first discrete reflective region on a right side of the elongated translucent member and a second discrete reflective region on a left side of the elongated translucent member; a camera coupled to the shell and defining a field of view extending outwardly from a posterior end of the shell; and a projection system projecting an image onto the first discrete reflective region and onto the second discrete reflective region, the image comprising a subregion of a video frame recorded by the camera, the secondary visor reflecting the image toward the interior volume.

10. A helmet system comprising:
-
a shell defining an interior volume and an aperture proximal an anterior end of the shell; a primary visor coupled to the shell and transiently arranged over the aperture; a secondary visor comprising an optical element, operable between a retracted position and an active position, arranged between a dorsal region of the shell and the interior volume in the retracted position, and arranged between the aperture and the interior volume in the active position; a camera arranged on the shell and defining a field of view opposite the aperture; and a projection system transitioning from a standby mode to an active mode in response to transition of the secondary visor from the retracted position to the active position and projecting an image toward the optical element in the active mode, the image comprising a subregion of a video frame recorded by the camera, the optical element reflecting the image toward the interior volume. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23)
