Smart motorcycle helmet raised $ 800K on the first day of crowdfunding

The incredible success of collecting pre-orders through Indiegogo on a Skully AR-1 motorcycle helmet shows that people really liked this gadget. Indeed, a very cool thing, I would wear it even on a bicycle. C'mon, I would walk in it.

The helmet is equipped with a head-mounted transparent display with a convenient location in front of the eye, a wide-angle rear view camera and a GPS navigator. He shows the road along the route and everything that is happening behind him. This thing can save many lives.



The aerodynamic helmet connects to the Internet via a mobile phone via Bluetooth, receives software updates automatically. It is also equipped with a safety visor that does not fog up on fog and protects against sun glare.

Of the additional options that are unlikely to increase safety on the road are built-in speakers, an audio player and support for conversations with receiving a call and dialing without the help of hands. The battery lasts for 9 hours of normal use.



The developers also promise to release an SDK for creating third-party applications.

For the first day (!) Of receiving pre-orders, more than $ 800 thousand was collected. This helmet can set a record for fees at Indiegogo.

The regular version of Skully AR-1 is offered for $ 1399, with international delivery in May 2015 - $ 1599. Sizes from S to XXL; helmet color matte black or white.



Some motorcyclists have already tested the Skully AR-1 prototype and were terribly pleased.
