The Helmet of the Future is Here
I’ve mentioned a few HUD assisted driving products recently, but I’ve never mentioned my resentment of the fact you can’t really wear any of them, thus depriving me of the chance to live out some “Halo” master chief fantasies while on a commute.
Thankfully the Skully P1 is here to pick up that particular slack in the HUD assisted driving department. It’s a motorcycle helmet with a built in heads up display in the interior of the visor that provides you with blind spot information, GPS, and a host of other driver assistant tools. Among them, the most intriguing has to be a rear view camera angle that allows the rider to get a rare safe look behind them. Adding to the cool yet actually safe features list, is the built-in smartphone integration which lets you field calls and texts as well as control your music while riding through voice commands.
I’m actually disappointed this is only being advertised as useful for motorcycle riders, when its uses in everything from paintball to zombie apocalypses are evident. Perhaps they’re trying to get away from the 80’s sci-fi evil biker image this thing can attract if not carefully handled, but they can’t stop me from wanting this despite my intentions to use this for anything but riding a motorcycle. In fact the only thing likely to stop me is the Skully P1’s price available on request policy which will deter many from living out there sci-fi fantasies through this amazing piece of technology for quite some time.
