The first visor released in Babel Infoc Stage 2

No tools are required to change the LED colors or animation. The visor control core features the RISC-V CH32V003, and soft touch buttons are present to cycle color swatch / spectrum (SPCT), and animation (ANIM).

The visor can be easily mounted to your existing prescription eyewear using 5mm zip ties, or worn stand alone using the provided spring steel headband.

This visor also features a hot swappable eyepiece using standard 2.54mm header pins, allowing users to develop and install their own custom eyepieces.

LED tech:

• 2 groups of 6 RGB LEDs are distributed around the visor, featuring two main body diffused panels, two accent points, and the main visor.
  
• Colors are organized by swatches, each swatch contains 5 RGB values, and each animation in the cycle can blend and gradient between each RGB value.
• The animation cycle is progressed by pressing the ANIM button.
  The following animations come pre-installed:
  • Glitch Neon
    • LEDs display a flickering neon light effect, with a random chance to show 1 of the 6 glitch effect animations
  • Slow fade
    • All LED segments slowly fade through all colors in the current swatch
  • Slow fade
    • LED segment 1 fades through he current color swatch, LED segment 2 shows the offset color to LED segment 1
  • Random Fade
    • Both LED segments each fade to a random color in the current color spectrum, for a randomized speed each time)
  • Pulse 1
    • All LEDs pulse twice, then slowly fade out
  • Pulse 2
    • Three pulses, between Segment 2 to Segment 1, similar to the bootup animation, then slowly fade down.
  • Photo mode 1
    • Shows the current swatch primary color without change
  • Photo mode 2
    • Shows the current swatch accent and contrast color without change
  • Photo mode 3
    • Shows the current swatch midtone and accent color without change

Please note that after pressing the animation button, the animation will change to the next in the sequence after the current animation has finished

Firmware:

The firmware running on all Stage 2 wearable electronics platforms is the new RGB Slammer firmware developed internally by Tully Jagoe and now available under the open source MIT license. New code can be uploaded to the visor using standard CH32V003 techniques, and all CH32V003 core pins are exposed around the chip, to allow enterprising hackers to expand its capabilities.
