A report from CNET suggest that a a Moscow-based company called LiveMap, is developing a new helmet for bikers that features a head-mounted display, built in navigation and Siri-like voice recognition.
According to its developers LiveMap takes the concept of augmented-reality display to a new level by incorporating it into motor driving. The report suggest that the headgear will be equipped with a translucent, color display that’s projected on the visor in the center of the field of vision and a custom user interface. A light sensor is there on the display on the helmet which can be used to adjust image brightness based on external light conditions as well as an accelerometer, gyroscope, and digital compass for tracking head movements.
The report also says that LiveMap is fully integrated within the helmet and layers information in real space. At the launch, the helmet will be offered as an English only Android based headgear at launch.
LiveMap is likely to cost $2,000, or $1,500 for the “early birds.”
