Making ODST Helmet and trying to make a working night vision.

[DatBoyDbz619]

If I got a see thru OLED screen and connected it to a nightvision capable camera but put the see thru oled screen on the visor so when I turned the camera it turns on the screen. would this theoretically work

I guess it would depend on how large the screen is, is it curved, and if you can get the camera FOV to line-up with the visor FOV.

So yeah, theoretically this is possible. However I would have no idea if the OLED screen would work in practice. It might be of some help to get some orthographic sketches of the layout made, and show some photos and names of the products you'd use.

Also concerned with how much a translucent OLED screen would cost, and the implementation into the helmet. I'd assume it'd be more suited for a Halo CE Marine type of use, like so.

I'm a real lover for insane, bold projects. But I can't feasibly see this happening in practicality. Ready to be proved wrong tho!

Your best bet would be to have a helmet with one of the big attachments on it as well. As for night vision it usually is based of IR light so it will need a light source of some kind. You could use a smaller attachment but from what I've seen most IR rigs lenses aren't super compact. Romeos helmet is probably the perfect candidate for this though I'm not sure how much range or headroom the average ir sensor/ lenses is. It may be a lot narrower seeing as how you want the display to be sent to a HUD so might not be as hard to get the space dialed in. Id just start playing around with a cheap ir camera that has some kind of live pass-through if you can find one.

That honestly might be the a harder challenge if its optical zoom.
