For all you Emergency Service Riders

This looks amazing (Watch the Vid in the link)

UNSW design student Alfred Boyadgis has won a prestigous Red Dot design award  for his futuristic motor cycle cop helmet that has facial recognition technology and a fully integrated communications system. Currently, police officers on motorcycles have heavy helmets that are without any smart phone-style technology and communication devices available to other officers.

"Even though motorcycle police are often first on the scene, they rely on poor technology," says Alfred, the 23-year-old industrial design student from UNSW. "They sometimes even have mobile phones tucked under their helmets."

The new lightweight helmet, which has received interest locally and internationally, enables rapid communication between emergency services. Among its features is a GPS and the first semi-modular visor system to increase vision and improve safety by more than 65 percent.

A recreational version coming onto the market in 6 to 8 months!!

Looking forward to it, especially if it's "affordable"!    :thumbsup
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Well, affordable for the average recreational rider may take at least a few more years but that's excellent technology. :rockon
