Some additional info from a fire magazine (Northern Star 8-Directional Electronic Compass and Guidance System). Here’s what I found on how it works. Digging up the patent may explain better.

A combination of magnetometers, accelerometers, and gyroscopes work together to filter interference and ensure a reliable and accurate true north heading at all times. The unit refreshes multiple times per second for fast, smooth transitions with no lag time when the firefighter turns his head quickly.

It goes on to say that it’s being tested by defense agencies.

currently being tested by the United States Navy SEALS in Coronado, California, in addition to some other Department of Defense units

And the picture they have is of a full face mask. Not a ton of info, but it’s more than what’s listed on the website.
