The Headset That Transforms Driving Forever

I'm putting this piece of technology to the test to see if I can drive a 5-ton Hummer with the windows completely blacked out.

Where do you see this technology going in the future? 👇🏼

[@agrieferhater5052]

lol,also to be honest is could be used if the military wanted to have a safe transportation without any glass exposed from enemy fire power sooooooo…

[@OverTheVoids]

This would be nice for my daily commute so that I can better navigate the plethora of insanely bad drivers.

[@czechcrusader6461]

Windowless military vehicles would look insane from the outside. But as you mentioned if the cameras are destroyed there needs to be a backup of sorts.

[@JokeswithMitochondria]

its an evolving technology

[@sterlingarcher8041]

@@JokeswithMitochondria i was curious about ur username so cIicked on ur profiIe. Wasn't disappointed lmao

[@shinybaldy]

that backup would be the classic hatch open TC & driver. these sort of systems are intended to bring other crew members into the situational awareness world and also allow better night fighting capabilities

[@user-cr4sc1ht9t]

And I bet most non-nerds don't know where the periscopes are on existing tanks anyway

[@markmitchell457]

If the system goes down we have a backup. We call them windows.

The applications for this technology are limitless! Firefighting, law enforcement, mining, aviation, commercial construction etc.

[@Acegaming49]

Great video Sam I thought of this as the land version of the f35 helmet 😂

[@dimitarmargaritov]

Also reminded of the F35 helmet, imagine how much more advanced that one is.

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

I drove an APC Warrior in the British Army. Once i was (battened down) fully enclosed driving at night the night sights failed, drove right into a tree 🤣🤣... Also one driver had his sights shot out in Iraq and had to drive with commands from the the vehicle commander. This is thankfully trained early on.. to be able to drive without seeing anything thru the drivers sights.

[@TheLazyFinn]

Jeez, reading this brings some flashbacks... I did my conscription driving a 2S1 SPG and the day before our night driving exercise I had desk duty during the night... at the point when we started driving I had been awoke some 20hrs with 4 hours of sleep or something like that, then you slap on a soviet night sight from the 70s... that fish eye lens was horrible and I think that experience will never leave me lol

[@Adventuregirl96]

This looks really interesting and promising. I was wondering since I use my windshield wipers to clean of water and grime is there anything similar to that for the cameras?

[@drizzlybear5231]

Awesome video! Very cool to see the technology we have come to.

[@anthcellini2328]

Awesome Video! Really cool to see the technology to come in the future can't wait

[@stevepritchard3970]

Lovely work Sam, and a great guest.

[@mreed1685]

Another great video, and I think you asked some really good questions. Very interesting!

[@XenoWiz]

This is the type of scifi tech they had in the 2009 Movie Daywalkers movie,(min the headset it was displayed in front of him with 3 screens) I always thought it was pretty neat idea its cool to see it into the real world working.

[@D4n13ly]

Tank crews would kill for this. F-35 like HMD & DAS for ground vehicles. I was thinking of this for years...

[@ZacharyHarpel]

That's some pretty sweet tech

[@Herrpaere]

Your channel is amazing

[@johnmadsen37]

Doing terrain mapping 3D (not on this shown.Version) solves for the terrain changes. It’s a matter of mapping layers, which layers are displayed. A version can also plug in ground penetrating radar to detect buried metal objects or more dense objects along with shaper/pattern Recog to predict what it is ie ied. This is a plus and play type system so whatever device is compatible, it can read and display the layer. IR, microwaves, radiation, and just about anything in the spectrum can be displayed as a layer. Coupled with the weapons targeting system, this system can clear path in auto mode.

[@TheSinnisterGamingChannel]

This would be great for modern tank drivers and also who ever aims the berrel

[@OverTheVoids]

This looks much simpler than the F-35 helmet, but it was interesting to hear how the land imperfections actually cause a bigger challenge with ground vehicle use; I didn't think about that. I am also curious how much this system costs. It's probably nowhere near as expensive as the F-35 helmet, especially since it doesn't look like it needs to be custom made for each driver.

[@donkey1271]

I'd be more curious about the lack of depth perception that anything else. Cameras and NV/thermal slights already exist on many armoured vehicles, but they're as a supplement to physical windows typically.

[@MrGibAholic]

The system supports stereoscopic vision

[@tomahawkm4687]

Those H1 Hummers are just classic

[@Nyra890]

I wonder how did you recorded exactly what you saw from these glasses/headset. Very cool video!

[@Far2hip]

Mega ship control would be incredible with this set up. But the number of cameras to integrate would be huge. Awesome stuff. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@willhover2662]

If anyone on here has ever driven a F-550 down a dozer line on a wildland fire, you know how helpful this would be! It would definitely save on stabilizers and oil pans! Same for LHD’s underground, very cool technology!

[@shannonking5721]

That's amazing sam!

[@rajindasounds_travels]

Another amazing video Sam! I love when new technology ideas are put into use in the real world! It would also be cool to see this technology used in some space travel application, for example, an astronaut inside the space ship could wear this headset and get a 360 view of the space shuttle while travelling to the moon or Mars.

[@mjohnson9563]

I would imagine that the cameras could be integrated into the body of an armored vehicle at time of manufacturing which would give them better protection as well as the ability to mount more cameras on the vehicle. I am exotropic and do not have binocular vision or depth perception and so I do not get nausea related to vision issues. On the other hand I have to manually compensate for depth perception which sometimes in very difficult especially at night. I can see in the future cameras being mounted on soldier's helmets as well as from other sources that could project an image on their helmet visor such as pin pointing out where the enemy is in order to prevent friendly fire.

[@Th3Shrike]

Just wondering if that thing is 6dof or only 3dof, if its only 3 that can get very headache enducing very fast

[@shorifmiah2680]

Wow Absolutely amazing Sam bro thanks for your ❤❤❤

[@Mr.sharky3858]

[@RhinoZone305]

SAM...that's a no brainer..."Where do you see this technology going"....I see it going direct to the 'Eckholm Creation Station - Mobile Division' 🚆 Another awesome vid Sam, always on the cutting edge. You should check out the I/ITSEC conference in Nov in Orlando - military tech maxed. 😎

[@souruimnessejogo7352]

Amazing!

[@QetinoRexviashvili]

Semi trucks gona go crazy bro

[@anuraganand7217]

This is something useful! ❤

[@MrNiccholas]

Call me crazy, but I bet eventually we will develop the technology to detect and destroy very small incoming projectiles, such as small arms fire. I'm thinking of something similar to existing missile defense systems, only on a much, much smaller scale. If you could incorporate that into a vehicle equipped with this technology you would then be able to specifically protect the cameras thus eliminating the need for windows entirely! This technology is really cool and I can't wait to see all the applications it will be used for in the future!

[@brianv1988]

This is going to be amazing for tanks I could see it now

And what happens when the sensors stop working, have a "glitch" or are damaged during combat...

[@kengetkamulos]

And what happens when you the sensors work and you actually have a significant tech advantage? Lol.

[@lawsoniannuzzi264]

Love it

[@moxxiloquita2048]

So if you're in a blinded armoured vehicle, with no windows, this system is pretty useless if the enemy decides to take it the cameras...

[@BobbyYu26]

If you think about it, a destroyed camera is like a destroyed window. If their made of the same materials, i would rather have a broken camera and be backing away in a fully armoured vehicle than losing a window and potentially vulnerable.

[@koolerpure]

i love the idea of this outside of military applications. submarines,spacecraft and even rescue could benefit from it

[@Lt._Connor]

can you drive this thing at night?

[@Garrbear420]

On the one hand, i dont wanna support more defense contractors and the military industrial complex, but on the other i dont wanna piss hineywell off and have them deactivate my AIR conditioner. On a side note, i bet itd be cool to have HUD displays in F1. Like having a perfect line or braking point overlaid in their visor
