Mask integrated screen, firefighters can 'see through' the dense smoke screen

The type of gas mask combined with the screens of American scientists can accurately display the objects behind the smoke screen extremely dangerous.

Typically, rescue workers will have to carry hand-held devices to locate and observe in haze and high temperatures. But an American company has created a mask that integrates an observation screen, giving firefighters a view through the fire, convenient for saving lives.

A mask helps firefighters see through the fire.

Qwake's C-Thru mask has a built-in transparent screen that can display data (HUD - Head Up Display) on one eye of the mask. This screen will project a visual feed gathered from a thermal imaging camera outside the mask. Support for this camera will be the AI ​​algorithm, which allows to detect shapes and objects in front.

Because each material will have different thermal conductivity and simulated by a green border, when viewed through this screen, firefighters can distinguish objects in front despite fire and smoke. may obscure.

The number of firefighters testing this mask proved quite unexpected to C-Thru.

This impressive ability of the camera is mainly thanks to a special coating, which makes it visible even in a room full of smoke.

During a fire drill conducted by the Cosumnes Fire Department in California, a number of firefighters tested this mask proved quite unexpected to C-Thru. They claim the mask not only makes it easier to see victims, but also reproduces incredible environmental detail.

The information display system is currently in the prototype stage and researchers expect to be able to commercialize the product soon in the near future.
