Terminator T-800 vision HUD (1984-10-26)
- id:
terminator-t800-hud - corpus: fictional
- form factor: fictional-other
- creator: James Cameron / Hemdale Film / Orion Pictures
- disclosure: The Terminator (Orion Pictures), released October 26, 1984; the T-800’s first-person heads-up display overlaying target identification, status readouts, and option menus on a machine-vision feed.
- ip status: fictional
- sensors: sensor-camera-rgb, sensor-camera-ir
- prior art notes: Discloses a head-/eye-locked augmented-reality overlay: a live camera feed annotated in real time with object/threat identification, persistent status indicators, and selectable text menus. Relevant to AR-HUD eyewear and helmet claims combining ‘an image sensor’, ‘a near-eye display’, and ‘a processor configured to overlay object-recognition results’. § 103 motivation that the annotated-live-feed near-eye HUD was a concrete design objective by 1984. Non-enabling on the recognition pipeline; pair with enabling computer-vision art.
Snow Crash ‘Gargoyle’ wearable computer rig (1992)
- id:
snow-crash-gargoyle-rig - corpus: fictional
- form factor: glasses
- creator: Neal Stephenson
- disclosure: Stephenson, Neal. Snow Crash. Bantam Books, 1992 — the ‘gargoyles’: people wearing head-mounted display goggles, body-worn computers, and continuous-capture sensors, with voice query and head tracking.
- ip status: fictional
- sensors: sensor-camera-rgb, sensor-microphone-air, sensor-accelerometer
- prior art notes: Discloses an integrated head-worn AR rig: near-eye display goggles + body-worn processor + always-on cameras and microphones + head-tracking, with voice queries against a networked database and continuous capture/upload of the wearer’s surroundings. Relevant to AR-glasses claims combining ‘a near-eye display’, ‘an outward-facing camera’, ‘an inertial sensor for head pose’, ‘a microphone for voice input’, and ‘continuous data capture/transmission’. § 103 motivation that the always-on capture-and-query AR wearable was a concrete objective by 1992. Non-enabling; pair with enabling HMD/SLAM art.
Falcon — ‘EXO-7’ wing-pack exoskeleton with HUD goggles and tethered drone (2014-04-04)
- id:
falcon-exo7-wing-pack-and-goggles - corpus: fictional
- form factor: exoskeleton
- creator: Marvel Studios
- disclosure: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Marvel Studios), released 4 April 2014; a back-mounted articulated wing-pack exoskeleton with HUD goggles for targeting/telemetry and a paired deployable reconnaissance drone (‘Redwing’) controlled from the rig.
- ip status: fictional
- sensors: sensor-camera-rgb
- prior art notes: Discloses a body-worn articulated exoskeletal rig with integrated near-eye HUD goggles and a paired, rig-controlled drone whose camera feed appears in the wearer’s display. Relevant to wearable-exoskeleton claims combining ‘a body-mounted articulated assembly’, ‘a head-worn display’, and ‘control of a tethered/paired drone with its feed shown to the wearer’. § 103 motivation as of 2014. Cf. [[aliens-marine-helmet-cam]] (networked body-cam), [[snow-crash-gargoyle-rig]].
Stark ‘Iron Spider’ suit with mask HUD and AI (‘Karen’) (2017-07-07)
- id:
stark-iron-spider-suit - corpus: fictional
- form factor: garment
- creator: Marvel Studios / Sony Pictures
- disclosure: Spider-Man: Homecoming (Marvel Studios / Sony), released July 7, 2017; the Stark-built suit with an in-mask heads-up display, an integrated conversational AI (‘Karen’), distributed suit sensors, environmental analysis, biometric monitoring of the wearer, a deployable drone, and configurable web-shooter telemetry.
- ip status: fictional
- sensors: sensor-camera-rgb, sensor-accelerometer, sensor-microphone-air
- algorithms: algo-emotion-recognition
- prior art notes: Discloses a smart full-body garment integrating: an in-mask near-eye HUD; a conversational AI assistant resident in the suit; distributed suit sensors and environmental analysis (object/person identification, threat assessment); biometric monitoring of the wearer (HR, respiration, stress); and reconfigurable actuator/output settings. Relevant to smart-garment and helmet-HUD claims combining ‘a body-worn garment with distributed sensors’, ‘a head-mounted display presenting environmental and physiological data’, ‘a voice AI’, and ‘wearer biometric monitoring’. § 103 motivation that the integrated sensing/HUD/AI body suit was an articulated objective by 2017.
