Signed up to be a BETA tester for one of these ages ago, they look pretty good. Rearview jobby would be useful.

This pic makes it look like the display is quite intrusive to the normal field of vision.

Yeah I would buy this. It's a beta and not there yet, not sure the prism is the best idea to get ground into your face in an off but feedback shapes a product and there are plenty of people that would buy into this in its infancy.

I've toyed with the idea of using a Corvette HUD but they are massive so its a non-starter. These are the future of high-tech lids guys, they may not be now but it won't take long before we are seeing these from our favourite manufacturers.

Love the rear view camera, couple that with bluetooth comms for phone, choonz and bike to bike / bike to rider intercoms, then all you have to do is pair them and you've got a cool product. Needs a 5 on the sharps test or it will immediately fail IMO.

Would like this, but a couple of remarks.

Why a dedicated helmet? Ok, I get the rear view camera, but why not make a (fairly) universal kit? Like the bluetooth/intercom stuff. Or kit for specific (popular) helmets, like the Cardo SRC in the C3?

A helmet needs to be a good fit first (plus I'm used to a flip-up now), everything else for me is superfluous.

Also, again not taking into account the rear view camera, what would this do that Glass wouldn't do and more?
