The U.S. Navy just made an 'Iron Man' esque helmet for diving

Researchers at the U.S. Navy are creating a diving helmet for the future.

The Iron Man esque helmet — called "DAVD" (Divers Augmented Vision Display) —  is described as "a high-resolution, see-through head-up display (HUD) embedded directly inside of a diving helmet." 

Divers will be able to have "real-time visual display of everything," according to the Navy's news release.

That includes sector sonar (real-time topside view of the diver's location and dive site), text messages, diagrams, photographs and even augmented reality videos.
