News: Satnav in your motorbike helmet?

pocketgpsworld.com

With jet fighter pilots already enjoying the benefit of in-helmet displays it was only a matter of time before someone foresaw the possibilities of this tech for bikers.

A Russian team have now developed a motorbike helmet that contains its own projector, display and navigation technology and can display navigation instructions projected onto the visor.

It seems like an ideal solution for bikers, removing the need to take your eyes off the road increases safety. The projector and display produces a collimated image identical to head-up displays and in-helmet systems in fighter jets. This ensures it is focussed ahead of the rider so that the eyes do not need to refocus.

A G-sensor, gyroscope and compass allow head tracking which means the display can update in real-time as the riders head is moved providing an augmented reality view.

Initially the designers were seeking funding via Indiegogo but they now claim to have received venture finding to enable the prototype to progress to a production solution. You can read more on the developers Indiegogo page via the link below.
