-- New Springboard! (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=15470)

I have no clue what this device was, but I was watching the fox 25 news at 10, and they had this thing on. The TV was muted at the time, so I didn't get to hear what it was, but it had something to do with medical. The springboard was HUGE as it went all the way around the Visor, and maybe even used the USB port on the bottom of the unit. Does anyone have any idea what this was?

Cool

It is a THINGY. But I am unable, or rather unwilling to share more information because . . .
I really do not know, because . . . FOX we do not have a FOX station is this part of the world.

Well I did not see the TV news, but just today I saw at cnn.com a rather large medical monitoring module inserted into a graphite visor. However, from your description I dont think it is what you saw.
Check out the link

Another step to wearable computers I guess

That was it. I'm starting to think at the time they had a USB cable on the bottom of it so they could connect to the computer. Now, what does it do, and how much does it cost?

It is some type of health monitoring shirt, connected to a visor that (i guess) is collecting all of the data. The website for the company is http://www.vivometrics.com - but it has very little info and nothing about the visor.

There was a brief article several months age in Wired magazine. I'll try to find it.
