Visor: Power source, safety compliance, visibility

]]> 2025-10-23 18:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/caalborg/u9tcuajyrqf6h0r3/wish/3647921389 Define the Problem caalborg https://padlet.com/caalborg/u9tcuajyrqf6h0r3/wish/3647926614 For the Coolant Gel:


Football players experience heat buildup in helmets that can cause discomfort, fatigue, and heat stress, reducing performance and increasing risk of injury. This project aims to develop a safe, reusable coolant gel system integrated into helmet padding to maintain optimal head temperature during play.


For the Smart Visor:


Football players and coaches often struggle with quick communication and real-time situational awareness on the field. This project proposes a lightweight visor projection system that displays key information safely within the player’s field of view.

    Green = ready


    Red = stop


    Blue = message
