The connected helmet gives riders a heads-up display, touting navigational directions, the ability to play music and a 180-degree, rear-facing camera, capturing everything behind them, replicating the eyes in the back of their heads. Cars have all the fun when it comes to advancements in connectivity ... but what about motorcycle riders?
Sensing the need to fill that gap, Skully is introducing its AR-1 augmented reality motorcycle helmet, which touts Bluetooth capability, allowing riders to get navigational directions on a heads-up display within the helmet in addition to playing music as well.
Tech Times got a hands-on demonstration of the smart helmet during the ShowStoppers event, as part of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016, on Wednesday night at the Wynn in Las Vegas. Although I'm not a bike rider, I immediately realized the benefits of having a connected helmet, as soon as I put it on.
