Thread: Skully AR-1: the world’s most advanced motorcycle helmet on Indiegogo

IF Batman needed to buy a new helmet for his Batbike, he wouldn’t hesitate using this teched-up piece of kit.

Dubbed the world’s smartest motorcycle helmet, the Skully AR-1 is a mean-looking Android-powered lid that has a number of tricks including a rear-facing camera that projects onto the visor what’s going on behind.



This means riders will be able to pre-empt any upcoming hazards or change lanes without having to glance away from the road — a split second look that could otherwise be costly.
Apart from this wide-angle camera, GPS navigation is also projected onto the visor as well as speed and music and mobile phone functions, which can be controlled by voice command.
Adding to its cool credentials is the electrochromic e-tint feature, which lets riders combat glaring sunlight by electronically making the visor darker at the press of a button.
If you’re raring to get the AR-1 to protect your melon, you’ve got a wait. It’s being put through the crowd-funding circuit on Indiegogo with a plan to ship in May 2015. It’s raised $836,000 of its $250,000 goal and there are a number of pre-orders available if you’re happy to put your money down.
So, the price? It’ll cost a cool $1500 to get this tech on your head.

Hacked that server yet Neo?

pay 1400$ now and get it next year in may

or pay 1500$ when it actually ships

or buy a small projector from a chinese google glass shanzhai for 150$ and mount it inside your visor and wirelessly link it to your phone ?

and completely fukk your face up in the 1st crash?

and takes away the element of surprise ? no way,

plus she is being completely paranoid, thank to you, banning IPs from France and checking if I am getting into her crappy webserver every 5min,

probably banned the whole IP range for France by now

it could project goatse on your screen as it detects high G de-acceleration so that is the last thing to go through your mind

you will wake up blathering to the doctors about seeing a tunnel and spawn another cult about life on the other side

isn't that what gay bikers usually do ?

I have a mini camera on the rear of my bike which feeds into a screen. Shit-load cheaper but a great idea when the price comes down

Sounds like an expensive way to ruin a nice motorcycle ride.

Also, chatting on the phone while riding a bike and watching the rear view camera and looking at the GPS? What could possibly go wrong...

Translation: no.

It's made of polycarbonate.

wonder if loytoy has thought about fitting a HUD to his buckets ?

i wonder if the cops will still pull him over by saying the side mirrors are not there. and him trying to get away by saying he got live feed by the camera behind his helmet.

What a helmet, it would be a great way to add to the enjoyment of riding a motorcycle. I disagree with Girbil's comment re being made of polycarbonate, poly has come a long way over the number years, and would out perform fibregalss by a long shot as does any product made from todays plastics.

Anyone know a good place reasonably close to Sattahip/Pattaya where I can buy a good farang size helmet?
I know better than to use the 200 Baht skull caps, but have never been able to find a real helmet here that fits on my head.

Thank you in advance.

^^ Interesting, I often look at helmets in Thailand, but iv'e never tried one on.

The 1500 baht thai brand do make xxl and xxxl sizes, but most shops don't stock.
I was offered one on order when I was looking, 2 weeks or so they said.
