Think Glass won’t catch on? Maybe not as it looks today but wearable tech headgear is not going anywhere. This concept of a Glass-like Helmet is a great example of something practical we use today that becomes even more practical and functional when augmented with technology.

This Indiegogo Project is currently looking for additional funding from a group called LiveMap after already receiving funding from the Moscow Department of Science and several other Russian organizations.

Here is a quick rundown of features for this wearable straight from their project page:

augmented reality for easy and user-friendly navigation

clearly visible collimated image i.e. it is always in focus, just like that in scope sights

full-color, translucent picture is projected right on the visor like in a F-35 fighter helmet, it’s safe, provides unobstructed view, doesn’t distract attention and eliminates the need for a separate display

supposed size of the system fits a motorcycle helmet - our helmet is going to be just a bit bigger than usual

two 3000 mAh batteries for a long operation time

microphone for voice control that keeps both hands free for driving

two earphones

light sensor for adjusting the image brightness according to external light conditions

G-sensor, gyroscope, digital compass for head movement tracking  (the picture changes according to the view direction)

I see Glass taking off in the same way once its integrated with everyday spectacles!
