"A shark on whiskey is mighty risky, but a shark on beer is a beer engineer" - Tad Ghostal
You know, when you're contemplating spending several years of your life, and a shitton of money trying to create a new product, it's generally a good idea to figure out if there actually *is* a market for the idea in the first place. It's not worth the time, stress, and cost trying to develop something that will never sell because no one wants it.
On the topic of a HUD for bikes? I'd love one, enough to drop some serious coin on it. The biggest complaint I have about the gixxer is that the dash is *way* below the line of vision (maybe in part because I'm 6'2"), enough that I have to look completely away from the road to actually see anything on it. Other than that, it's the best bike I've ever had by leaps and bounds.
A simple HUD that projected speed, gear, check engine light(if it happens), and maybe tacho somewhere out of the way on the field of view would completely address that one issue.
Social media and IOT stuff is something I won't pay extra for, but won't put me off buying if and only if there's a way to turn all that crap off.
IOT especially, as that's usually a massive security hole. Virtually noone bothers to properly secure data feeds from IOT anything.
To be free is to accept the consequences of your acttions
None so blind as will not see.
Thank you all your honest responses!
We are still developing our optics which is a holographic display which will have a projected image.
Our next steps are to implement the product with beta testers so we can get some live feedback.
Again, Thanks for all your time and your responses (good or bad) they all really help!
Cheers
This product should have broad appeal amongst people that are unable to rotate their eyeballs.
This sort of technology would be great when applied to car windscreens, but motorcyclists helmets?
No.
Lubiechain? More like Lubiecock...
I'm surprised Shoei/Arai haven't teamed up with a bike manufacturer to develop something. Need something like a canbus to Bee for real bike data. I don't think relying on a smartphone is going to cut it.
I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..
Speed by all means ratting away in the corner of my vision would not hurt. God knows it accelerates bloody quickly and can get away on me in a flash.
Social media and the likes? Not for me - waste too much of my life on it now and head out to ride to avoid it and people!
Not into that modern shit. Having said that I rode home in the dark last night without the dash lights working. Might have helped but I didn't speed too much anyway
