Compass degrees, GPS coordinates, and triangulation between the AR reticle and the helmet camera to get the coordinates of what you're pointing at, that right there nabs you instant zero-effort target designation for anything from air support to artillery. Imagine calling a drone strike by glance
I think the GPS coordinates feature would work best from both within the lore and practically as like, an optional thing. Have it be something you have to turn on like a flashlight, since A: Spartans still use laser designators as a separate piece of kit AND have helmets specifically designed for artillery fire coordination in JFO. And B: I'm not a military expert but I imagine it's a little more than just marking a location with GPS coordinates for an artillery strike, but I could be wrong.
@@CB0Otz well, calling in an artillery strike consists of the Observer identification (which could be attached to the message sent) , the Warning order, the Target location (attached), the Target description (could attach a snapshot of the camera, leaving more free time for the soldier to watch their back while the artillery team sets up the mission with appropriate ammo and fuse types), the Method of engagement (same as previous) and the Method of fire and control (same as previous) so it basically is that simple. With the exception of maybe having a radio line to request specific firing mission parameters for a more specific plan than just "destroy this thing", if you don't specify i would imagine you could increase the efficiency of the mission massively with much less time for forward operators to be spotted or for something to go wrong
That’s a good note to make, at the current moment I see that it is being developed for “right-handed handling” of the weapon. Would later iterations be made for the finger signals to work ambidextrously on both hands? Or would that be considered a redundant feature?
Personally to avoid any accidental triggers, I'd make it an active toggle switch or a three piece touch plate with pressure sensors on the inside of the forearm (a small 2×3 inch little plate on the inside of the forearm that responds to mostly intentional activation [unknown if this has been used in active combat, cannot attest to that level of stress testing). Or possibly a rotary dial/switch on the side of the helmet along side where the comms unit would be.
Or make it two handed, add a button on the weapon that confirms your doing that, with a right hand confirmation gesture as well when not carrying a weapon.
For what it's worth - in the books, the Spartan's controlled all of their Mjolnir systems via a combination of chin controls in their helmet and eye tracking on the HUD.
A nice addition to the hud would be a elevation angle indicator that would run along the sides. Would really reinforce the feel of “a walking piece of military hardware.”
Green is go Amber is for caution/Prep for contact/ ammo low/ Damaged but operational/ Injuries but mobile Red is currently engaged/ Engagement confirmed/ Ammo nearly depleted/ critical damage/ Injuries life threatening
To simplify: Green is available for support/no problems. Amber is don't count on me being able to help. Red is I have my own problems or otherwise completely unavailable for support.
In regards to the armor suit itself, if you wanted actual bullet resistant capabilities while keeping weight down you can consider ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) we are now using it in the mitsry to replace the Kevlar in our helmets and it is highly bullet resistant for its size and weight.
I actually have a Russian 6B47 helmet that's made of UHMDPE, it's super lightweight compared to kevlar and in tandem with titanium it would be level 3A or higher.
6:20 There’s a sci-fi series I read a while back where the helmet functions can be operated with your tongue. It’s weird but it makes sense the more you think about it.
In the halo novels the MJOLNIR helmet has at least 20 different controls that can be manually activated, many of them by chin. I still remember Cortana asking, "Please chin the control at position 20 in your helmet."
Are you going to be able to fit your fully gloved and armored hands and fingers into that Assault Rifle's hand holds and trigger guard? It looks a bit small, fit for your uncovered hand but you might need to tear it apart and modify it for the grip.
Don't know if using the follower to count ammo is ideal. Nerf darts can compress quite a bit which may add up enough to make it innacurate. A common nerf mod to add this functionality is to add an IR led and sensor inside the barrel which detects a dart being fired via detecting the IR light being blocked by the dart and counting down.
@@koohikoocould put a pressure sensor on the bottom of the magazines to tell how much the spring is being compressed thats then connected to the AR through some kind of contact
Just an idea, but why not mount the Rfit reader on the back of the hand under the hand plate armor. being down in the wrist can limit range of motion and certainly wouldn’t be comfortable. You can still wire a sensor extender to the palm too
Hypothetically speaking you're definitely going to want a FLIR camera integrated for night use so you don't walk around looking like a massive glowing shoot me sign in "combat"
Polycarbonate is indeed a good choice. (I'm a CNC programmer actually at a plastics fabrication place.) It'll definitely hold for what you're looking for unless it's scored with a knife and pressure is applied. I also don't know if you considered this, but I'd recommend getting the sharp edges broken so you don't cut yourself on sharp edges while working with it. Safety first.
I assembled an Armalite rifle with a sort of sci-fi Halo style in mind, I would love to be able to sync it to a display like this. There's a fellow who was working on functional ammunition counters for magazines, it couldn't be too hard to have such a counter send it's onboard display to the helmet, maybe through Bluetooth. A long way down the road I can definitely see people trying to integrate actual weapons-grade ceramic and polyurethane into the helmet shell, making it effectively impact proof.
just think a lil' bit its okay on a toy to put there a camera, but put this on a real weapon, on that (that place is the weapon's gasblock) will melt quickly couse the intense heat what generated by the hot gases. i think the holo scope is better solution. (the 2nd version)

A thought while watching this, the module for linking the HUD to a firearm would have some issues being implemented depending on the firearm, specifically handguns. There isnt always a lot of room in the grip to add an RFID chip that could be read. Glocks would be able to most easily accept it as I can tell (since I own one) and even be able to add a wire going to the front for the reticule module and possibly the/a power source. but a 1911 or M92 may not be able to without custom grip panels
@@retrowave4050 all good! Happens to me all the time so no worries. Also my issue was addressed by one of the Discord moderators that Installation and team will work on when they get to that part.
Lidar is generally closer range but having a set in the suit would be cool as a final warning for motion sensor as well as in the hand plate on the back of the glove for scanning objects
In Halo 5 you can see the status lights are in fact in the nose piece. Co op subordinates can change their color by tapping the command button In Halo 4 the overlay lines are used for distance approximation. Look into mil lines used in military binoculars to learn how the math works The currently planned positions for the weapon motion trackers are about 5-7mm above the bore. This is technically no worse than the optics we already use, but this technology is uniquely suited to solve an age-old sighting problem and ensure utmost precision at point blank range for shooting around oddly-shaped pieces of cover or while under magnification if the weapon is tilted sideways. Long term we want to be able to install this system on a *real* gun, so the closer to the barrel the sensors are mounted, the more shaking force they must be rated for, at the tradeoff of a more accurate CCRP Current night fighting rigs *also* use external IR strobes for IFF. The power lights in the joints would be a good position to double up both LEDs and IR to ensure they can be seen from any direction while reducing the total brightness to mitigate their visibility to enemy sensors You *will* be retaining partially filled magazines because of the dynamic nature of reloading. There may even be scenarios in which you want to reinsert the same mag you just ejected to save time. The initial follower check is not only vitally important, but it must be rigorously tested to ensure you can never confuse the system with irregular ammo management
I would lead against the lines in the hud as the inherent stress on human perception would cause a diminishing return on human reaction as it has to process the extras information as it tries to make a quick discussion. Full immersion would be the best option to allow better human input without the issues our fleshy brains produced. I used to work in a field that recorded and created systems that coerced human thought. More art, less collegiate science but art does dictate life.

Concerning finger based controls- you could make a touch (registered by rfid, nfc or even just contact electrodes) of the tip of the thumb and tip of the little finger- a gesture that likely will not happen on accident- pull up a ring menu, and navigate it by tracking hand movement with the lens, in 3d (2d relative to the initial position of the hand when the command was triggered) with option selection upon separating the tips of the fingers, with a neutral option in the middle. might be more intuitive and user-friendly than a wide array of different hand movements for different functions.

The work is absolutely amazing, great work. The hud is fantastic. So excited to see more. Also my goodness the shield sound effect on boot gave me chills so awesome.
Absolutely brilliant dude 👌🏽one thing I'd mention you may be able to bypass trying to install the micro LEDs in the helmet by integrating the status lights into the VISR HUD. Having holographic status lights would save space and would eliminate being restricted to the available number of physical status lights. I didn't explain that well.
I think you should try reach out to other halo youtubers and see if they can make a video on this project as it would make the project reach a bigger audience and potentially get more funding for the project
you should put a thermometer as a band accross your head. Use one of the thermometers they used that is used on the forehead and temple. Then tie that into your cooling system. So if your temp goes beyond a certain value you set, the liquid cool would crank up to drop your temp back to normal. I dont have a clue if that is possible, but it would be good to keep track on your vitals so you dont overheat in the suit. Also you can put a O2 monitor in your gloved hand that would monitor oxygen and heart rate. These items are relatively cheap at Walgreens,... dont know if you have those. Also you can attach a Blood Pressure cuff in your arm armor to give blood pressure vitals at your command. Also if you strip appart a Apple watch you can use the ECG like device simply by connecting one lead to one figure in one glove and connecting a second lead to another finger in the opposite glove. Just thoughts. Really REally like your work. Hope you stay having fun. Just a P.S. You could attach decently powerful ultra sonic sensors on the outer shell facing every direction and then you could make use of that radar to a degree.
Another idea for controlling the status indicators or really anything instead of clicking your fingers together is tongue toggles. I don’t know how it would feasibly work too well but the tongue toggle could also act as a mouth guard for high impact situations. You could hook up a 3, 5, or 7 way hat and attach it to a mouthguard. You use your tongue to flick the hat from side to side and potentially up and down to navigate through menus or turn on status light indicators. You would have to get used to talking through the tongue toggle which is a problem
As a cosplay wearable it’s totally awesome!! As someone who lives in the USA I’m very curious how to go even more immersive with a real recreation of the Halo Assault Rifle. Some mad lads have made a 5.56 complete recreation of it ammo counter and all…..it would depend on what kind of battlefield is being fought on but this stuff the US or British military would use. Me as a civilian would never have access to that stuff but this would be the next best alternative. Maybe warfare is getting to the point where a soldier on the ground make good use of a HUD. Very cool!! I really want one as an American.
I think the hud lines move too much, if engraving then into the visor will reduce that effect then I think you should do it. Also, have you figured out how the exoskeleton will intercept your nervous system?
I'm assuming your going full digital for the night vision? FYI trex arms has a few very informative videos regarding digital night vision vs og tubes. This is the 1 technology that hasn't caught up yet. Optical tubes are still much better than digital, but a few companies are making strides. The real issue is range as far as I can tell, as well as ir signature as most digital nv's require a decent ir illuminator as far as I know. The range I believe is dependant upon the illuminator, where as it isn't required with enough ambient light and tubes.
Hey, I'm a bit late but a couple of thoughts regarding the gun: 1. the airsoft AR (made by Snow Wolf) is expensive and hard to get, but I'm pretty sure it's legal to own for non-airsofters (because it's not a replica of a real firearm) 2. there's a company called Tachyon Electronics that does a halo-styled airsoft gun computer, with ammo tracking, 3d compass etc. It might be possible to tie the system into hololens own API. It also has a muzzle-based shot detection system so it can also track misfires etc. It may not be quite what you want, but it's off-the-shelf
Awesome stuff as always bro! Also love the ideas, quick question could you test it with say an Airsoft gun? It should be a bit more easy to see/test at the end as the weapons in airsoft can be more realistic in weight and are more durable than the nerf ones. Either way awesome to see the progress!
So I know this might be to far behind what progress you already made but what if you had the laser projector that you had previous to the holo lense and have that project the static hud display then have the holo lense augment the image to display the live info such as "health" or the reticle and comm info and what not, that way you don't have to impair the vision with milling the plastic when say system failure but still able to move
This is amazing. You are amazing. I've been spraypainting a nerf gun over the last two weeks as my first experiment, and it's cool, but it's not RFID-identified, infrared laser-target-range-finder nerf halo assault rifle cool.
Maybe once you make the first prototype and try to get it on the military market you can team up with hacks with to produce them or even team up with them to help make the first one

Hey 00, I'm a software engineer at Microsoft, and I've been working with the Hololens 2 for the past few weeks (for the Microsoft Hackathon they do every summer). If you need/want any coding help with this project, I'd be glad to help.
One of you Halo content creators sohuld make it a life goal to make a LORE ACCURATE Mjolnir combat helmet, with all the correct materials, fully integrated cooling systems, neural link and interface, starship A.I chip, and a working shield generator. xD
Are you familiar with the next-gen Low-light/Thermal Optics being adopted by US DoD? That might make sense to looki into as your NVG component. The system provides some very nice overlays that would work great for a soldier in a combat operation.
What about the Field of View of the Hololens? I Heard it's Not very big.. does this Hurt the realism? And what about the Tinting, can you still See Well enough with them on? And Last But Not least, is it possible to overlay a camera View Like for example a Zoom camera, a camera at the Back of the head and/or a night Vision camera? Best of Luck and keep Up this great Work! Edit: Before I forget, can the Sensors of the Hololens Tracks a room or other Things through the visor?
I hope you have a good lawyers in the future, because Microsoft will try to claim your work because of IP if you succeed, because I have faith you will one day
That's why I'm building my scout helmet to have it near my right eye. I'm fully ambidextrous so I don't have a dominant hand or a dominant eye. Night vision will be left eye. Gun will be right eye. But both will be up so I essentially have to glance up to see those. My other option is spending much more to get a pocket computer and pre-built near eye display system to attach to glasses
Hey there! Little suggestion: instead of calculating where the gun is aiming using IR nodes on the gun, why not just stick the HUD reticle on the dot created by the IR laser you’re planning to install anyway? I feel like it would make more sense and be more accurate.
Huh... what I'm hearing is my scout suit would have an overwhelming advantage over his in terms of stealth. Mine will be able to see IR and have an option to not emit IR.
Is it possible that HALO Titanium-A means Dual Phase Titanium Aluminide Alloy that has specially alloyed to attain strength similar to Diamond Age Carapace BP Steel or Age Hardened Maraging Steel Grade 350?
As a powersuit enthusiast (Metroid), I am incredibly excited to see something like this being made. I love the HUD and everything planned to come. I have a question. When you did the HUD Showcase, the UI appeared to have a wobble of sorts. Is that the UI itself, or the camera capturing what is seen somewhat moving around freely in the helmet? Much love =D

you should put a thermometer as a band accross your head. Use one of the thermometers they used that is used on the forehead and temple. Then tie that into your cooling system. So if your temp goes beyond a certain value you set, the liquid cool would crank up to drop your temp back to normal. I dont have a clue if that is possible, but it would be good to keep track on your vitals so you dont overheat in the suit. Also you can put a O2 monitor in your gloved hand that would monitor oxygen and heart rate. These items are relatively cheap at Walgreens,... dont know if you have those. Also you can attach a Blood Pressure cuff in your arm armor to give blood pressure vitals at your command. Also if you strip appart a Apple watch you can use the ECG like device simply by connecting one lead to one figure in one glove and connecting a second lead to another finger in the opposite glove. Just thoughts. Really REally like your work. Hope you stay having fun.
Just a P.S. You could attach decently powerful ultra sonic sensors on the outer shell facing every direction and then you could make use of that radar to a degree.
Nice work! Love to see it. Makes me want to build my own armor.
Another idea for controlling the status indicators or really anything instead of clicking your fingers together is tongue toggles. I don’t know how it would feasibly work too well but the tongue toggle could also act as a mouth guard for high impact situations. You could hook up a 3, 5, or 7 way hat and attach it to a mouthguard. You use your tongue to flick the hat from side to side and potentially up and down to navigate through menus or turn on status light indicators. You would have to get used to talking through the tongue toggle which is a problem
This is coming along wonderfully I like hearing about all of the little corrections you've had to make
Man this is so cool, I always wished I was smart enough and had the resources to create stuff like this
Holy hell this is amazing can't wait for phase 2 you could be making a new age in military tech
Just when you completed the helmet, US military accepted a contract of over 1000 holo lens from microsoft.
As a cosplay wearable it’s totally awesome!! As someone who lives in the USA I’m very curious how to go even more immersive with a real recreation of the Halo Assault Rifle. Some mad lads have made a 5.56 complete recreation of it ammo counter and all…..it would depend on what kind of battlefield is being fought on but this stuff the US or British military would use.
Me as a civilian would never have access to that stuff but this would be the next best alternative. Maybe warfare is getting to the point where a soldier on the ground make good use of a HUD. Very cool!!
I really want one as an American.
This is just too cool! I, like anyone else who enjoys this, am beside myself.. Awesome work 00!!!
Bloody hell, the progress you’re making is insane
LET'S GO!
I think the hud lines move too much, if engraving then into the visor will reduce that effect then I think you should do it. Also, have you figured out how the exoskeleton will intercept your nervous system?
About the camera mounted above the barrel, keep in mind the muzzle flash, which will be very bright viewing it this close
Every update just makes me giddy!
The progress on this project is incredible
You deserve more fame just for your lore videos alone now this is just really cool
This is awesome. There are 4 acknowledgement lights they're green, amber, red and IIRC (I think it was or orange or blue). Not trying to sound rude.
This is amazing! I’m so excited for the next update!
Truly amazing progress
Wow, just wow.
I'm assuming your going full digital for the night vision? FYI trex arms has a few very informative videos regarding digital night vision vs og tubes. This is the 1 technology that hasn't caught up yet. Optical tubes are still much better than digital, but a few companies are making strides. The real issue is range as far as I can tell, as well as ir signature as most digital nv's require a decent ir illuminator as far as I know. The range I believe is dependant upon the illuminator, where as it isn't required with enough ambient light and tubes.
Hey, I'm a bit late but a couple of thoughts regarding the gun:
1. the airsoft AR (made by Snow Wolf) is expensive and hard to get, but I'm pretty sure it's legal to own for non-airsofters (because it's not a replica of a real firearm)
2. there's a company called Tachyon Electronics that does a halo-styled airsoft gun computer, with ammo tracking, 3d compass etc. It might be possible to tie the system into hololens own API. It also has a muzzle-based shot detection system so it can also track misfires etc. It may not be quite what you want, but it's off-the-shelf
Bloody fantastic
Keep it up, this is a fantastic project and it makes me so happy to see progress
Awesome stuff as always bro! Also love the ideas, quick question could you test it with say an Airsoft gun? It should be a bit more easy to see/test at the end as the weapons in airsoft can be more realistic in weight and are more durable than the nerf ones. Either way awesome to see the progress!
good lord this is amazing
This project is a dream of mine, but between college and work i dont have time
So I know this might be to far behind what progress you already made but what if you had the laser projector that you had previous to the holo lense and have that project the static hud display then have the holo lense augment the image to display the live info such as "health" or the reticle and comm info and what not, that way you don't have to impair the vision with milling the plastic when say system failure but still able to move
This is incredible good work my man
This is amazing. You are amazing. I've been spraypainting a nerf gun over the last two weeks as my first experiment, and it's cool, but it's not RFID-identified, infrared laser-target-range-finder nerf halo assault rifle cool.
Maybe once you make the first prototype and try to get it on the military market you can team up with hacks with to produce them or even team up with them to help make the first one
Installation 00, the future 4 HUD technology is near thanks 2 u n the patron. I may not b able to help in term of money but by comment, like n share I can. Hope to see a bright future for u n all the Halo fans out there...we all gonna achieve this Halo IRL dreams as long as we don't give up
This has crazy potential!
absolutely amazing...👏👏👏
Great work. Keep it up!
Hey 00,
I'm a software engineer at Microsoft, and I've been working with the Hololens 2 for the past few weeks (for the Microsoft Hackathon they do every summer).
If you need/want any coding help with this project, I'd be glad to help.
One of you Halo content creators sohuld make it a life goal to make a LORE ACCURATE Mjolnir combat helmet, with all the correct materials, fully integrated cooling systems, neural link and interface, starship A.I chip, and a working shield generator.
xD
Absolutely fantastic!!!!
Will there be a possibility of using eye tracking to operate hud menus like in the books (ODST Helmets)?
This is great progress my man
This is pretty awesome
Are you familiar with the next-gen Low-light/Thermal Optics being adopted by US DoD? That might make sense to looki into as your NVG component. The system provides some very nice overlays that would work great for a soldier in a combat operation.
That'll be spendy, but cool
I wonder if shields could be made using magnets to repel low velocity projectiles
What about the Field of View of the Hololens? I Heard it's Not very big.. does this Hurt the realism? And what about the Tinting, can you still See Well enough with them on? And Last But Not least, is it possible to overlay a camera View Like for example a Zoom camera, a camera at the Back of the head and/or a night Vision camera?
Best of Luck and keep Up this great Work!
Edit:
Before I forget, can the Sensors of the Hololens Tracks a room or other Things through the visor?
So cool!!
I hope you have a good lawyers in the future, because Microsoft will try to claim your work because of IP if you succeed, because I have faith you will one day
I’ll continue to donate every time I see an update.
I would avoid a full face display for a smart scope feature. It seems like it would hurt situational awareness.
That's why I'm building my scout helmet to have it near my right eye. I'm fully ambidextrous so I don't have a dominant hand or a dominant eye. Night vision will be left eye. Gun will be right eye. But both will be up so I essentially have to glance up to see those. My other option is spending much more to get a pocket computer and pre-built near eye display system to attach to glasses
The council has decided this once treasured instrument of the Covenant is too dangerous to be left alive.
I'm going to cry with joy @0@
Hey there! Little suggestion: instead of calculating where the gun is aiming using IR nodes on the gun, why not just stick the HUD reticle on the dot created by the IR laser you’re planning to install anyway? I feel like it would make more sense and be more accurate.
The other aiming methods they mentioned may require the IR nodes.
Huh... what I'm hearing is my scout suit would have an overwhelming advantage over his in terms of stealth. Mine will be able to see IR and have an option to not emit IR.
Is it possible that HALO Titanium-A means Dual Phase Titanium Aluminide Alloy that has specially alloyed to attain strength similar to Diamond Age Carapace BP Steel or Age Hardened Maraging Steel Grade 350?
Bro imagine airsoftttt hahaaa! Every one of these videos I think about airsoft and how rad it'd be
For the internal LED lights, why not just use RGB LED's? Allowing you to have 3 unique acknowledgement lights for the "team", rather than just one.
This is bad ass, wish I could do this
this is the first time seeing your face for me and well definitely not what i thought you looked like.
its, beautiful
As a powersuit enthusiast (Metroid), I am incredibly excited to see something like this being made. I love the HUD and everything planned to come.
I have a question. When you did the HUD Showcase, the UI appeared to have a wobble of sorts. Is that the UI itself, or the camera capturing what is seen somewhat moving around freely in the helmet? Much love =D
Amazing
Is the motion sensor possible? To know when living things move around you in a 360 degree thing?
