1. A local device configured to couple to a headgear system having an optical data communication system, the local device comprising:

  • a local device housing configured to enclose a plurality of electrical components within the local device housing, the local device housing comprising a mounting interface disposed on an exterior surface of the local device housing;

    a plurality of connector elements disposed on a surface of the mounting interface, the plurality of connector elements comprising;

    a power pin configured to transmit an electrical voltage,a return pin configured to transmit an electrical voltage, anda non-contact optical connector comprising a cavity and a window;

    an optical coupling system disposed within the non-contact optical connector, the optical coupling system comprising an optical element, the optical element disposed within a cavity of the mounting interface;

    wherein the mounting interface is configured to releasably mate with a corresponding mounting interface on the headgear system such that, when connected to the headgear system;

    a portion of the mounting interface of the local device is in contact with a surface of the corresponding mounting interface on the headgear system;

    the power pin and the return pin are electrically coupled to corresponding pins on the mounting interface of the headgear system;

    the non-contact optical connector is optically coupled to a non-contact optical connector of the headgear system to transmit an optical digital signal from the optical coupling system to the headgear system through the window of the non-contact optical connector.
