[MCU] Is the technology behind Quill's helmet/mask similar to Tony Stark's nanobot suit?

Rewatched guardians 1 today and I couldn't help but notice how similar Quill's helmet looks to Stark's nanobot suit. Both sort of dissolve in and out of existence at the press of a button, and the visual affect is very similar.

Are they just two different technologies that happen to look alike, or are they the same?

The mask seems to function a little differently with light frames of parts of the mask appearing before the physical parts materialize. Stark's suit has no light show like this; just tiny robots that build continuously rather than in chunks until complete.  The mask also always forms the same way; it appears to not be maleable in the way that Stark's suit is.  All this suggests to me that the mask is either a lower quality of nano technology or it is a different kind of technology.
