They were invented by Dr. Nitrus Brio after he formed a truce with Dr. Neo Cortex. The helmet initially performs services like checking news or viewing entertainment, similar to other real-life gadgets. Overtime, however, the helmets turn its users into mutants. This happened to Coco and Crunch when they immedietally got them. They sent text messages to each other and soon had different effects. Crunch could get weather reports and see monkeys and Coco was attending a symposium about children's effects on the Hungry Hungy Hippos. Acording to the Crash: Mind Over Mutant Cutscene "N Faux Mercial", the NV can access any file, "Talk to your disgusting friends", watch pay-per-view and julienne fries from a potato through the device (when Cortex uses this feature they come out of his ear, so when he eats one he spits it out says it tastes waxy). Cortex mentions that the NV has other features, but he cannot think of them at the time. In the DS version they look almost exactly as the helmet that Nina used to brainwash Coco. Trivia The "NV" is a pun on the word "Envy", which is an emotion that consumes a person with jealousy and rage.</li></ul><p data-rte-fromparser="true"> <img class="placeholder placeholder-ext" data-rte-instance="749-5144540694dc72147a4233" data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cyoutube%3EXCz3W3uPB6A%3C%5C%2Fyoutube%3E%22%7D" src="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb34567/common/skins/common/blank.gif" type="ext" />
