Geordi La Forge's Visor (Star Trek)

thingiverse

In VISOR 1, the front bars were too small, easily broke, and had a limited head area; additionally, the support material was difficult to remove due to its x-angle positioning. VISOR 2 introduced improved bars as slots while maintaining a 1:1 view ratio, widened the visor, and oriented it on the Y axis for easier support removal. VISOR 3 featured the same enhancements as VISOR 2 along with a closer fit to the forehead and cheekbones, and beveled temple rests. The VISOR is a fictional device used by Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" to overcome his blindness, sensitive to various electromagnetic radiation. While the technology may become possible in the real world with improved understanding of seeing and suited sensors, subspace physics is unlikely to be involved. The VISOR's subspace technobabble serves to emphasize its 24th-century high-tech status and allows for storylines involving espionage. Geordi's blindness since birth has made him accustomed to the wide spectrum provided by the VISOR, which can be confusing for others. A simple set of filters or bandwidth reduction could achieve a similar view for others. The original VISOR design had support material issues; thus, it is crucial to turn support on and orient it along the x-axis for easier removal in future iterations.
