Skully Mets

   
     You know this would come sooner or later. Just like one-person view video game, this makes you possible to have a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that projects an image on the visor. That is right. You are one step closer to the Iron-man. This thing will feed you directions or a standard map view. The Skully Synapse HUD is integrated into the helmet visor and appears to float around 20 feet ahead of the rider’s field of view.
  
   The Slick Motorcycle Helmet, which will meet both the U.S. DOT and European ECE safety standards, has a 180 degree rearview camera, GPS navigation, play music and connect with both iOS and Android devices!! With actual traffic information you gather with your own darn eyes, you will need ADD to get all the stuff. The company says full charge of the battery last for 9 hours-enough for a full day of riding. As for pricing, that’s still up in the air, but you can get in line to be part of the beta-testing set to begin in the next few months.

  My personal opinion... A part of the reasons I started riding was solitude and interaction with surrounding environment. If I want to listen to music or talk on the phone, I will just sit in a car. I admit the rear view cam is nice. No blind spots whatsoever.

The Invisible Bicycle Helmet

“If people say it’s impossible we have to prove them wrong.” Design students Anna and Terese took on a giant challenge as an exam project. Something no one had done before. If they could swing it, it would for sure be revolutionary. The bicycle is a tool to change the world. If we use bikes AND travel safe: Life will be better for all.

 I don't think it will work for motorcycle riders but it is still cool. I root for those ladies.

Vaco12 -Bean Bag Helmet

"Originally designed for orthopedic rehabilitation, Vaco12 technology uses vacuum cushions filled with millions of small, round beads to provide better fitting, more protective sports gear. The beads simultaneously provide a snugger, more comfortable fit on your head and are said to absorb impact up to four times more efficiently than traditional foam - just what's needed in sports like skiing and snowboarding in which professional and recreational athletes are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible."

Do you know the shape of skull is quite different depending on the race? My round skull will not fit right on European helmet. Tight on sides, loose on front and back. The same with ten gallon hat. Kinda sucks when you buy high-dollar ones on-line and not having good fit. Also not fitting tight all around means less protection, so this bean bag idea is seem pretty swell to me. But it is not for motorcycle riding; wonder when they make ones for motorcyclists.
