This Slick Augmented-Reality Helmet Has a Rearview Camera, Weather Reports - ヘルメット型ヘッドマウントディスプレイ
さらに新しいタイプのヘッドマウントディスプレイの開発が進んでいるようだ。バイクのヘルメットから景色を見ると、必要な情報がオーバーレイ表示されるというもの。Android、iPhoneのいずれかに接続して動作するこのヘルメットは Skully が開発中だ。
Motorcycle helmets with head-up displays and augmented reality were science fiction just a few years ago. But now major helmet manufacturers and startups are working to incorporate Google Glass-like functionality into their gear.
The latest company to throw its brain bucket into the ring is Skully, but the Silicon Valley company isn’t content with simply providing navigation and phone connectivity. They’re upping the ante with a 180-degree rearview camera.
The company has forked Android to create the Skully Operating System to incorporate voice controls, play music, get directions, and connect with both iOS and Android devices. And the company plans to release an SDK for developers later this year.
As for pricing, that’s still up in the air, but you can get in line to be part of the beta-testing set to begin in the next few months.
