Infrared Night Vision

  Tactical Operations

Helmet–mounted infrared system for professionals in smoke, darkness, and emergency conditions. Translates heat signatures into real–time visual intelligence, extending human perception beyond conventional limits. The design prioritizes comfort, durability, and intuitive interface for gloved-hand operation under high–stress conditions. The role focused on physical prototyping—fabricating multiple functional iterations to refine balance, visibility, and interface clarity for reliable performance when time is critical. ☐
