It's been around a few years now, but that's the first time I've seen a video of it in action. :niceone:

I think that would be really distracting.

would probly get used to it after a while, but it does obscrure quite a lot of vision, and wouldnt it block forward vision, and show sky as rear vision for sportsbikers when they tuck in behind the fairing?

also, would such a helmet mean you can remove the standard mirrors? as they would be superfluoous

Look where you are going does not equal see where you've been. Except on a straight road when you keep your head aligned forwards.
Incredibly distracting. Bugger that.

I wonder how much crash-absorption you would have to give up in order to fit in that system.

Nice bit of propaganda at the beginning of the video though.

i been toying with the idea of a bike mounted screen for rear view for a while, reckon it has many advantages over a helmet one, finally got round to chucking my thoughts on kb here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/116783-Rear-View-Camera)

i've got a reevu - they work welll and are comfy - use it as an additional aid for rear vision - not a replacement for side mirrors.
