Smoke disorientation, where firefighters lose their directions because of smoke blocking their sight, is responsible for 32% of the total casualties of the firefighters, leading to an annual average of 997 injuries, 3 deaths, and $176M compensation fee in Canada. The current solution (Thermal Imaging Camera) helps firefighters to see, but has critical problems. Firefighters find it delayed, too large and heavy, and requires an extra hand to operate. The firefighters claimed that they need a faster, lighter, and handsfree device that allows them to see through smoke.
