Would You Try A Heads Up Helmet Display?

What’s wrong with the satnav instructions to a Bluetooth headset?
I don’t think I’d like a head up display in my helmet, just something to distract your concentration.
You need to be concentrating much more these days because all the car drivers have got lots of gadgets like HUDs distracting them, even when they’re not on their phones.

 

I remember seeing on another forum that a guy had fitted a HUD device to his helmet, with camera feature too.
It looked very bulky and unwieldy, as well as ridiculous
Personally I’m not comfortable with sticking things like that onto my helmet. I’ve got an intercom on mine and even that’s a bit bulky.

 

I'd try one out for sure. I really don't think That I have much need for one, but still!

 

Not exactly a heads up helmet, but I can remember a bicycle helmet from years ago, that was fitted with mirrors inside so you could look at the peak of the helmet and see behind you, the problem was it caused a lot of accidents because people were watching the mirror instead of the road ahead, I Would think this would be the same.

 

Completely destroys the spirit of motorcycling for me....

 

Think it is something that will become more main stream in future years, with bike info being transmitted to it as well as sat nav. But I also think it will be taken up by the next generation of riders brought up with this type of technology rather than the old school like you gents.

 

Don’t forget some people use bikes/scooters as a way of transport not just entertainment.
For me there would be too much info going on and not sure how it would work with focus change between road and visor

 

Looks like Apple have launched a HUD helmet. Looks like it give you your apple functionality on your visor screen! Although on this website, it does say it’s discontinued

I agree with you here, but it’ll be much better when the technology improves and it’s integrated into the helmet, not just plonked onto the outside.
Then again, by the time this is possible they’ll probably have banned motorbikes for being too dangerous for us.

 

Yup had a very short shelf life
Released this year April 1st discontinued same year April 2nd

 

We don't need useless data, vs situational awareness JMO

 

Now check the date and wait for the lightbulb moment

 

Good spot!
