Can I ask: what are these? I see them all over places like artstation, so are they just cool cosplay pieces? Can the wearers actually see out of them? Or do they just put them on, pose for the photo, then take them off again?
I get that they’re supposed to be cyberpunk helmets or face coverings and that in that world they would have camera arrays on the outside and screens on the inside with AR overlays – but are any of the ones that get posted here or elsewhere online at all functional (even as prototypes)? Is there some programme or project that’s seriously trying to develop these, or did they come from a particular art style, anime or subculture?
I’d be fascinated to know. Either way: they look great!
