BIKEHUD ADVENTURE – AUGMENTED VISION – THE EVOLUTION OF YOUR RIDE

Wow! Almost 12 Months since our last BLOG!BikeHUD Adventure

So much has happened, we hardly know where to begin.

BikeHUD has evolved, it’s fair to say that when BikeHUD became the first HUD for motorcycles to retail we were ecstatic (still waiting on a competitor). We soon realised that in spite of our successes that BikeHUD needed to evolve, and evolve we have!

The BikeHUD ADVENTURE Augmented Vision, is not only an extremely long name, but is also a much sleeker, more streamlined, far sexier successor (As Tech goes) to its predecessor the BikeHUD Classic.

The keen eyed among you may have spotted these are all Premier Helmets, well there’s news there to!

Here’s a snippet from a press release explaining why:

The first company embracing BIKESYSTEMS expertise are PREMIER HELMETS of Italy. The PREMIER brand equally boasts a history of firsts. Founded in California 1961, they were the first helmet manufacturer to introduce full face helmets, as innovators within the industry a relationship with BIKESYSTEMS was inevitable. PREMIER are taking the lead to start the implementation of wearable technology into their proven & trusted designs.

The HUD from BIKESYSTEMS combines critical data from the motorcycle together with smart phone information into a single environment.  The system has its own forward and rear facing camera add-ons and can interface to any existing Bluetooth sound system. Apps from a smart phone for GPS information, advanced warning of hazards, safety cameras, weather and traffic etc relay information to the rider via a helmet mounted display, which is situated just outside the rider’s main field of vision.  Importantly “ADVENTURE” retrofits into any helmet currently available, allowing the rider to choose whatever make, model and style of helmet they wish.

We think it’s essential that any new technology, designed to make our ride safer should complement current tried and tested manufacturers’ products. There is absolutely no way on this planet, as riders we’d stick our head in a Lid that has no history, or proof of delivering the protection it promises.

In line with the relationship we’re enjoying with our Italian counterparts at Premier we’ll be showing at this years EICMA alongside Premier in Hall 15 stand 0.05. If you’re in Milan at the time, we’d love to meet you and have a chat.

LED Lights Make Augmented Vision a Reality

Okay, this is just freaky. We know LED lights are versatile enough to be used for practically anything, but LED contact lenses? Really?! Yes, as it turns out, really. University of Washington researchers have figured out how to implant semitransparent red and blue LED lights in contact lenses, for the purpose of receiving and displaying data in sharp visual images and video. This means wearers will literally be able to watch TV or view photos that are projected directly onto their eyeballs.

Today:

Researchers at Monash University are about to begin trials of a direct-to-grain bionic eye implant by 2014.

The microchips we are testing will be implanted directly on the surface of a patient’s visual cortex, located at the back of the brain. It’s estimated that each patient will receive a grid of up to 14 eight-by-eight millimetre tiles

Each tile comprises a four-by-four millimetre microchip with some 500,000 transistors and 45 hair-thin electrodes. When fully operational, these tiles will receive low-resolution, black-and-white images from an external digital processing unit connected to a high-resolution camera.

Yesterday:

The Six Million Dollar Man (ABC, 1974-1978) was an American TV series about a former astronaut that was rebuilt following an accident that resulted in his right arm, left eye, and both legs being replaced with bionics at a cost of six million dollars.

This is the most anticipated and commercialized product among wearable computers. This allows a person to be connect with all types of online/offline activity, use it as gps, a reminder, a phone etc. Everything in one.

The special filter on the iOptik lens allows for dual focus: Seeing real objects far away while also viewing augmented reality data close to the eye. Read more: http://gigaom.com/mobile/forget-google-glasses-check-these-dual-focus-contact-lenses/
