Helmet heads up displays

[t101]

Does any know of any?

All I can find is:

which looks sort of naff to be honest, im surprised a few of these havent crept onto the market? theyd be pretty handy and im sure people would buy them?

id be more worried about it spinning your helmet round in a crash. Exactly the reason your not allowed any cameras fixed to helmets on track days. dont stick anything to your helmet, it can snap your spine, i dont care how easy it says it can break away, theres allways a chance it wont, ild rather look down at my instrument panel.

ben, probably best never opening your visor in that case.

That particular one is quite old now and a little low tech compared to the sort of stuff that is churned out of China, like the little keyring video camera etc.

I'd expect there to be something better around, although that one didn't sell very well as I recall.

Maybe if someone came up with something a lot smaller that worked with a Sat nav to give directions or something it would sell better.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Helmets ought to have displays like those of air force pilots. You could then have just a very basic read out on the dash for when your visor is open.

There are no safety implications considering they are used in flight, where many will say safety is more critical (it's not, but people will say that)

What an awesome idea! Cause its hard to see the instrument panel in the advertising picture ain't it.....

Jokes aside, they could have made it look more useful in that picture.... I would mind a kinda LCD kinda visor like that mind.

I'd settle for someone inventing a visor that you can actually see through properly on anything other than a perfectly warm, dry day.

Walk before you can run and all that.

I doubt a visor will never have no fog etc... I don't think that there is a safe material that can do it properly.

I actually suspect some sort of glass laminate would be the best material, maybe even with an electrical demister. Making sufficiently good and light glass with such curved optics would be extremely expensive though.

A decent working automatic wiper blade for my visor would be good.

One thing I can't understand is why doesn't someone make, cheap reactor light screens?

The technology has been out for years with welding screens, but all thats offered for bikes is like those reactive lenses in glasses, which are slow and shit.

At the risk of sounding like a boring old giffer, if you can't keep a decent eye on the gauges and the road you're going too fast. How hard is it to maintain a constant speed without looking at the dials anyway, learn to do it on th engine note.

maybe on yer country lanes mate - come to london, looking at your clock for more than a split second at anything over 10mph will get you splatted! do you only look at your clocks to maintain a constant speed?

[nsr_J22_FOXEYE]

these are rubbish, I read reviews and they do say very hard to calibrate and don't work well even when they are calibrated. Stay away !!!
