The World’s Smartest Motorcycle Helmet

Using an elaborate network of sensors, microprocessors, and a camera, the AR-1 is able to deliver a Heads Up Display, with turn-by-turn GPS navigation, with information appearing approximately ten feet in front of the rider.

[T]he team also developed a rear-viewing system that gives a 180-degree view of what’s behind the rider. It functions similarly to a rear-camera system in a car — save for the fact that it offers a panorama instead of a tunnel.

I wonder if it could also be rigged to fire the lasers I keep meaning to install on my non-existent next motorcycle?

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
