The problem
In a working fire, you search blind.
- 01Smoke hides everythingVisibility can drop to almost nothing: the room, the floor, the fire.
- 02People are easy to missCrews search by feel, crawling along walls. Someone on the floor can be a few feet away and still not be seen.
- 03The way out gets lostAfter a few turns in smoke, it’s hard to know where the door is. Crews follow the hose back.
Handheld thermal cameras help, but a crew often shares one, and it takes a hand off the hose or tools.

Meet PyroSight
Hands-free. And one for every firefighter.
Sees heat, not light. A FLIR Lepton 3.5 on the front brim sees straight through the smoke: 160 × 120 heat pixels, 8.7 frames a second.
Points out people and fire. An ESP32-P4 in the side housing boxes what matters, about 16 frames a second, with no internet needed.
Knows the way back to the door. A motion sensor counts steps and turns from the doorway, and the earpiece points home.
A glance down, and the room appears. All three meet in an eyepiece in front of one eye.
The helmet · 360°
Every part, on the helmet you already wear.
The cameras clamp to the front brim. The electronics and the AI computer sit in a housing on the side brim. An arm swings the eyepiece down in front of one eye. 20 parts, about $543 for a prototype.

PyroSight clamps onto the helmet you already wear, whatever its colour. Nothing attaches to your SCBA mask.
What the firefighter sees
A glance down, and the room appears.
All three parts meet in the eyepiece: the thermal picture, the AI’s boxes around the person and the fire, and the arrow back to the door in the bottom corner. The lens makes the tiny screen look far away, so the eye doesn’t strain.
The room is simulated. The detection percentages are made up for the demo.
