OK, lots of us bought into the boomer-biker idea a few years back, but does that feeling of less control still nags the male practicality-mind? Augmented Reality (AR) helmet technology may be just the answer.
Even if you didn’t buy the motorcycle–confession: I didn’t, too many rainy rides for me here in Portland–we were all impressed when the movies and video games showed us heads up technology. The Skully AR-1 brings that tech to life in motorcycle helmets.
While the idea of one more driving distraction seems counter-intuitive, the Skully designers worked hard to incorporate a level of information and display that helps your riding experience without hindering your driving ability. Skully CEO Marcus Weller recently told VentureBeat editor-in-chief Dylan Tweney at Wearable World Congress that their goal is to “reduce cognitive load,” and Weller pointed to the smartphone interface as an example of that design aesthetic.
