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.
