VictorMaxx- Stuntmaster

RoboVision is a quick virtual reality (VR) project that provided attendees at RoboFest 7 a feel for what a robot's vision might be like. The project's components are two VictorMaxx Stuntmaster VR headsets which have their video inputs wired to Supercircuits microcameras. The Stuntmaster has a single camera screen. The microvideo camera is mounted on the outside of the head gear with the battery power unit to be worn as a belt pack. An on/off timer switch was wired to the helmet to allow more participants equal access. The entire head unit is covered with a cardboard mask design similar to the Megabot army style for a cool robot head appearance.

There is ample room in the head gear to allow for downward vision so that the person wearing the helmet can walk around and avoid tripping over stuff. The camera images that were projected into the headset screen were from various feeds off the mobile robots such as Mobile Platform and Dweebvision.
