Actually, Droid Translator Helmets does not really translate words spoken by humans (English) into machine language. The helmet is equipped with a microphone and headphones, and people wearing helmets are talking in English instead of in machine language, but designed to be not heard by anyone else at all. While speaking English, the machine language "helpless" is issued from the helmet, and people in the surroundings seem as if they are talking in machine language.


There is a radio set on the back side of the helmet.


Attached to the red frame is a vocal cord microphone that comes in close contact with the throat and picks up vibration of the throat directly. Even if a person wearing a helmet speaks with a voice that can not be heard, the vocal cord microphone picks up properly and is able to deliver my voice to the other's headphones.
