Abstract: A frame assembly worn to maintain at least one transparent eye panel in front of a wearer's eyes. A processor receives an incoming audio signal and wirelessly transmits it to an earpiece which audibly communicates the incoming signal to the wearer. An outbound microphone assembly picks up an outbound audio signal from the wearer and transmits it to the processor which transmits it to a remote recipient. An ambient microphone assembly picks up an ambient audio signal and transmits it to the processor. The processor is structured to enhance the incoming and/or the outbound audio signal based on the ambient audio signal. The processor transmits a voice component of the ambient audio signal to the earpiece. A camera assembly picks up an outbound visual signal and transmits it to the processor which further transmits it to a remote recipient. A display assembly displays an incoming visual signal.

Abstract: A frame assembly is worn by a wearer to maintain at least one substantially transparent eye panel in a generally shielding position in front of the wearer's eyes. A processor receives an incoming audio signal and wirelessly transmits the incoming audio signal to at least one earpiece which audibly communicates the incoming audio signal to the wearer. An outbound microphone assembly picks up an outbound audio signal from the wearer and transmits the outbound audio signal to the processor which further transmits the outbound signal to a remote recipient. An ambient microphone assembly picks up an ambient audio signal and transmits the ambient audio signal to the processor. The processor is structured to enhance the incoming audio signal and/or the outbound audio signal based on the ambient audio signal. The processor is also structured to transmit a voice component of the ambient audio signal to the earpiece.
