ICARUS IS A clear plastic instrument-training face shield that transforms from clear to translucent to opaque, which simulates instrument meteorological conditions at the touch of an app. It can also be modulated independently using an attached power module. A polymer dispersed liquid-crystal film clips to the bill of a ballcap and allows pilots to look through a clear face shield. A USB-rechargeable power module is corded to the face shield. Visibility options can be set to unlimited (clear) or one of three simulated instrument conditions via the power module or selected through an iOS or Android app. Users may choose simulated instrument conditions of one mile, one-half mile, or less than one-half mile.
