Helmet
After receiving a concussion I thought that maybe it would be wise to wear a helmet more often, well I realized that I could just wear one most of the time, especially if it looked cool and had extra functions.
I want to create a helmet that looks like a scifi helmet (mass effect, titanfall, halo, etc.) and that;
- Protects my head (able to decrease force from impact by significant degree, maybe even bulletproof)
- Can filter the air I breath (does not need to be super extreme filter, just filter out general junk, the better the filter the more pleased I am, but if it becomes too bulky/expensive then it is unnecessary)
- Has a HUD with my vitals on it. I would wear some sensors, such as HR monitor to have some cool biofeedback, maybe also include other information.
- Maybe even have it be a digital display where there are cameras on the front and maye back of the helmet that then are displayed on the interior screen, where maybe I have voice commands set up for some different things.
- Possibly have the helmet be as sound proof as possible and have microphones where my ears would be, then inside the helmet speakers, so that I can modify the noise around me to be how I want it to be.
I understand this would be rather difficult (at least including all of the bullets) and that it could even be a touch silly. Yet, I find this a rather intriguing pursuit and think it will help contribute to becoming a cyborg. Any tips would be greatly appreciated as I don't really know where to start for this. I can imagine a lot of the work might be done on an arduino, but I simply don't know the feasibility of modifying noises of the world around you and having the cameras on the helmet.
Thanks.

I always thought about the idea of making a motorcycle helmet with indicators of all kinds. but I came to the conclusion that the human eye does not distinguish well the lights of the display so close, blurring of focus and so. The issue of sound is that at high speeds the turbulence of the hull makes background noise and it is difficult for a microphone to separate the sound from the environment of the voice. Right now I'm taking some electronic classes to be able to make a prototype. but there are many things to keep in mind
