First day seriously working on the project, and I have begun hand sketching and using Rhinoceros 5 3D for the modeling of the headset that will house the pi, screen, LEDs, and the battery pack for the LEDs. The pi will be powered by an external USB battery pack that will be run from a backpack, in addition to the screen battery pack. I also started writing the python script with the picamera library that will be used to start a live stream on the screen.

The pi runs off of USB voltage (5V), the LEDS 1.7V, and the screen 12V, so keeping all the power systems organized and condensed will be a challenge.
