"The LiveMap motorcycle helmet features a built-in voice-controlled navigation system that the wearer can view on a helmet-mounted display. The helmet is currently being developed by a Russian startup founded by entrepreneur Andrew Artishchev. The company is raising funds for the project on Indiegogo."

 

very interesting

Agree, interesting. However I try to own the lightest possible helmet. Adding weight doesn't really appeal to me.

Arent there enough distractions on a bike with trying to not die by the hands of most morons without more distractions in your face?

I suppose after a while you wouldnt notice it.

 

I just don't trust anything made by this guy.

HUD built into the visor would be cool to simply show speed/revs/temps, but would need to be small and unobstructing.

 

All the rest of those functions could easily be built into the bike and then used wirelessly with the helmet (keeps weight down)

Wonder how dangerous that carbon fibre helmet would be if it splintered after a crash or impact, its bad enough getting those in ur skin, let alone your eyes

I just stick my phone in a little recess on the scooter's cluster :P
