Heads Up - riding a bike just merged with being a fighter pilot. Meet the Worldās Smartest Motorcycle Helmet (according to the people making it). With integrated smartphone tech, voice commands, rear view cameras, a headsup display, GPS navigation, and electronically adjustable visor tint, Iād have to agree. The only question to comes to mind is why arenāt F1 racers using this thing?
Dubbed the worldās smartest motorcycle helmet, the Skully AR-1 is a mean-looking Android-powered lid that has a number of tricks including a rear-facing camera that projects onto the visor whatās going on behind. This means riders will be able to pre-empt any upcoming hazards or change lanes without having to glance away from the road; a split second look that could otherwise be costly.
Apart from this wide-angle camera, GPS navigation is also projected onto the visor as well as speed and music and mobile phone functions, which can be controlled by voice command. Adding to its cool credentials is the electrochromic e-tint feature, which lets riders combat glaring sunlight by electronically making the visor darker at the press of a button.
If youāre raring to get the AR-1 to protect your melon, youāve got a wait. Itās being put through the crowd-funding circuit on Indiegogo with a plan to ship in May 2015. Itās raised $836,000 of its $250,000 goal and there are a number of pre-orders available if youāre happy to put your money down. So, the price? Itāll cost a cool $1500 to get this tech on your head.
