Time will tell if they actually make a helmet, so far its just an overlay on a jpeg. I like the idea of a brakelight on my helmet, but something tells me they wont look anything like the computer generated graphics on the site. But the idea is cool, can you imagine your whole helmet flashing red! On the other hand, i could also see it being so different to see something like this that someone would just drive right into the back of you!

Im betting they are going to use oled displays, if there made, so get out your wallets!

I think it would be cool to have an image of a head exploding and blood shooting up out of your neck...

Or maybe a head turning around farther than humanly possible, toward the person behind, and then the eyes glow red and horns grow and a smile with vampire fangs...

Or just a giant eyeball that looks around. Occasionally the iris changes sizes as it focuses in on something. Every few minutes the Iris can change color. It might also randomly change from human to cat eye or reptile eye, with the nictating eyelid blinking over it every so often...

Or maybe a single giant breast with a huge areola, that bounces around and maybe squirts milk every few minutes...

A video on the helmet as if it were a tank half full with yellow water, sloshing around.

Or maybe one that looks like the helmet is cracking right off the riders head, and then a chick comes out.

How about video spiders and scorpions climing all over the helmet?

Great for dealing with cagers, but your pillion passenger would get board of it pretty quick.

Technically, yes. In spirit, Never!

Maybe the current time and temp.

Or, "Get off my ass you f***er!"

Or stats showing how many people have

been killed while someone was on the cellphone.

"Great for dealing with cagers, but your pillion passenger would get board of it pretty quick."

Just load a book off of kindle, or itunes and they can read! Or integrate gps and they can be a navigator, looking for interesting things to see nearby, places to eat etc.

The more i think about it, the more possibilities i can see!
I can also see a helmet costing over a thousand dollars!

Yeah probably rather than a helmet, a helmet overlay in the proper shape,
with a wireless reciever.

This is a really interesting concept (I especially like Tagg's idea of downloading a Kindle or GPS), but really what makes a motorcycle helmet cool is that if you crash, your hair, teeth, and eyes aren't splattered all over the street.
