Using GPS on a motorcycle usually involves looking down at a portable navigation device on the handlebars, but Skully Helmets wants to update that experience. The company developed the Skully P1 motorcycle helmet, which gives riders a heads-up display and integrates not only GPS, but a rear-view camera, hands-free phone system, and voice command.

According to Skully's press materials, the display is not in the rider's primary field of vision, and appears as if it were floating 6 meters ahead.

The helmet runs a modified version of the Android operating system, which comes loaded with navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. With the helmet paired to a smartphone through Bluetooth, the rider can use voice command to make phone calls and start music playback.

The heads-up display can also show the image from an integrated rear-view camera. Skully notes that this camera has a 180 degree field of vision, so the rider can also see when it is safe to change lanes.

I hate helmets, but since I have to wear on in Alabama, I would love this thing.

It needs a forward facing camera that can record Hi Def video.

 

[Ernie S.]

I may just apply.

 

[Jarlaxle]

I already did.

Rarely wear a helmet on my bike except when it's cold out. Not required in MN. However, if they developed it in a snowmobile helmet and it could take extreme cold I would love one mainly for the GPS system.

Pretty Cool.

there is a difference in snowmobile to a regular helmet?

Snowmobile helmets are designed for extreme cold weather. More insulation, better seals. I have had a bad seal on a helmet faceshield and got a touch of frostbite on my face right on my cheek, lucky it wasn't real bad. If it's below zero and you ride at the speeds I do, there is substantial windchill. Shhhh, don't tell the cops I speed. Some folks who use a helmet and goggles will put duct tape on exposed parts of their face to avoid frostbite.

well that makes sense....... maybe you should drop them a line and ask for one made for extreme cold.
