NerveGear

Item from Sword Art Online by Reki Kawahara

The VR headset that made full-dive virtual reality possible — and the microwave emitter strapped to ten thousand skulls that made the death game real.

Also known as: NerveGear, Nerve Gear

What They Know

• The microwave transmitters can be overclocked to lethal intensity — this is the death game's kill mechanism
• The internal battery provides 30 minutes of power if external power is cut — enough to execute the kill protocol
• Removing the NerveGear triggers the kill protocol — rescue teams in the real world cannot simply take the helmets off
• The successor technology (AmuSphere) removed the lethal transmitter power but retained the full-dive interface
