Heads up display prototype...

Post by homie »

A post from an electrical engineer student on another forum has captured my interests. Love new ideas and perhaps I can get this done in one of my helmets. Trying to buy his kit because this looks like FUN! Does anyone recognize the hardware? Have the skill to improve his work?

I like it! I have to wonder how difficult it is to put the helmet on with that disc there. Also, how safe would it be in an accident?

Oh GN keep your shirt on... it's FUN! you remember fun don't you? Give the guy some credit for skirting around the same technology that cost thousands in jet fighter helmets.

I wish some HUD for skiing was available on helmets - so you can see the piste map and pistes your one and it show upcomign routes, lifts, and closed pistes - be great - worth the extra cash, within reason.

For skiing it was around for 2-3 years now.

And as far I know one can buy the Nuviz MC helmet hud is also available for some time.
It doesnt mean there would be no demand for some competition on the market.
However I would not wear a helmet with that thing installed so close to my eyes what was not certified for safety
