Motorcycle helmets are getting technical, and not just in the way they protect your head. When I think of a heads-up display I would typically think of a fighter pilot, or more recently cars that graphically mount things like speed onto a heads-up window display. Now helmets are following suit, and the Skully P1 Heads-up Display Helmet ($TBA) is the most innovative and technically advanced yet.

Featuring a fully integrated heads-up display and a rearview camera, the attractive Skully P1 can also be linked to your smartphone via Bluetooth and this is where it really comes into its own. Once connected you can get weather reports, take calls, listen to music, and a lot more thanks to voice controls. The unit also comes with turn by turn navigation and other heads-up standards such as speed and distance travelled.

    Cool idea, but it seriously needs to limit the amount of information (distractions) the rider has access to. You are not surrounded by two tons of metal and glass and airbags and you cannot take it for granted people are paying attention. So you have to be constantly vigilant and distractions like phone calls, selecting music tracks, etc. have no place on a heads up display on a motorcycle helmet.
