New Thermal Mask for Firefighters!
The new camera, called Sight, is small and -- at around 8 ounces -- light enough to not add significantly to the heft of the mask. But it projects a small thermal image inside the mask, at nine frames per second. Further settings can be easily configured through a smartphone app.
Smoke causes more fire deaths than flames, according to the National Fire Protection Association, because people are incapacitated by fumes so quickly that they can't get to safety.
And it leaves firefighters blind, because it's impossible to see anything in a smoke-filled room.
Our firefighters need all the protection they can get, :)
Life or death upgrade! Thank you for revealing this amazing tech tool.
that was interesting !
I'd love to see a video comparing the two visual.
Of what a firefighter sees with and without it.
We are using a handheld thermal cam whenever we go inside a flaming apartment or a burning house. I can assure you that it's pitch black inside.. A thermal cam, handheld or inter graded in the mask is a blessing, all the heat variety stands out and makes the task at hand way easier 👍🏼
Wow , amazing technology.
Good luck @acidyo
sweet!
