Follow on Google News | Ride headsUp Launches Motorcycle Heads-up Display Campaign on KickstarterCo-workers at drone start-up build inexpensive and helmet agnostic headsUp display for motorcycle riders, displaying navigation and speed as a hologram on the road ahead.
“After years of riding motorcycles, having to constantly check my speed while maneuvering a busy street or sharp turn while struggling to find my way without navigation, I started to look for a safer and easier solution,” said Tyler Collins, headsUp founder . “Currently, the only option riders have is to buy a helmet with HUD capabilities built in. The goal for this campaign is to provide a user-friendly and universal display option that riders can afford and use on their existing helmet.” Riders traveling at 60mph can cover more than 150 feet while looking down to check their speed or directions. Ride headsUp is designed to give every rider a tool to monitor speed and navigation without hindering their situational awareness and overall safety. The display unit can be mounted on the majority of helmets on today’s market and are sturdy enough to withstand high winds while maintaining its ability to easily removed from the helmet. Bluetooth connectivity also allows for streaming of audio and navigation from Android or iPhone mobile devices to helmet display. Kickstarter Campaign: http://www.kickstarter.com/ “We designed the interface to be simple, not to distract riders or complicate the setup, but to enhance the overall riding experience,” The campaign goal, set at $125,000, will take Ride headsUp from a working prototype to a production-ready device in six months.
