The Holographic Entertainment Arts Device, commonly abbreviated H.E.A.D., is a head-worn entertainment console designed to recognize input from multiple species. It supports holographic games, media, and interactive experiences.
¶ Design
The device adapts controls and sensory input across different bodies. Password security can prevent unauthorized use.
¶ Eisgait History
Frosnik Volzen steals a H.E.A.D. as a Christmas gift for Branel but cannot bypass its password. Branel rejects the stolen present and insists that his father return it.
Three winters later, a visitor strongly indicated to be Jack leaves Branel a new H.E.A.D. among other genuine gifts.
¶ Cultural Role
H.E.A.D.s are ordinary consumer technology but become symbols of the difference between possession obtained through harm and a gift freely given.
