1. A retrofittable mount system for a mask having a mask window, comprising:
a sensor removably mounted to the mask to collect information about an environment as sensor data, wherein the sensor is removably mounted to the mask with a first mount mechanism that does not penetrate the mask window;
a processor coupled to the sensor, wherein the processor executes one or more cognitive enhancement engines to process the sensor data into enhanced characterization data; and
an output device removably mounted to the mask with a second mount mechanism without penetrating the mask window, the output device to electronically receive the enhanced characterization data from the processor and to communicate the enhanced characterization data to a wearer of the mask, such that the enhanced characterization data is integrated into natural senses of the wearer and optimized for performance of a specific task of the wearer to reduce a cognitive load of the wearer,
wherein the second mount mechanism comprises a flexible bridge connecting a left frame member and a right frame member, wherein the left frame member and the right frame member have contours that substantially match contours of the interior of the mask, and
wherein at least one of the left frame member and the right frame member are folded inwards about a vertical axis of the flexible bridge folded and then inserted into the mask, wherein once released the left frame member and the right frame member flex back to an original shape and press against the contours of an interior of mask.
