Abstract

A visibility-enhancing device and system can enable human users to view their surroundings in no or low visibility environments. The systems provide a multifunctional approach to enhance safety and visibility for a plurality of situations such as runners, security-worker, hikers, bikers, motorcyclists, divers, swimmers, coast guard, navy personnel, ship/boat crew, etc. The device has visibility-enhancing units, a controller, a user interface, a battery to power the device and system. The user interface may be a control panel, a remort control, an attachable-detachable vehicle handle mount, or integrated into vehicular electronics. The device and the system may be put over a variety of clothing and outerwear. The system may be detachably coupled to turn signal technologies, storage for cellular phones, medicines, hydration, etc. The system may be taught to be automatic via artificial intelligence or manual by user input through a control panel, an APP, voice recognition, or touch-sensitive technologies.
