Gear: A Motorcyclist’s Dream: Google Glass in Helmet Form
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
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)
Check out this video for more information on the product.
I see Glass taking off in the same way once its integrated with everyday spectacles!
