it's a helmet with the heads up display installed in it. it's kinda cool, but like i've said before about HUD, i don't wanna give up any of my forward view. it's not that big of a hassle for me to look at the stock gauges. i wouldn't spend money on it.

The idea is pretty cool. But, I agree, i'd rather look down and know i'm looking down than be distracted by the HUD while looking forward through the visor. Good find though!!

On a side note, they're soon going to be releasing a mini-projector to play DVD's onto the helmet visor to view while riding

Yup, but, BMW bought the idea off someone so that person made thier money. I wonder if the "in-helmet" DVD player will be next. Designed specially for passengers on long trips. Crap, i'm giving too much away. There goes my chance at greatness!! [:-]

On that web site it claims to be the first heads up display for a motorcycle helmet ever. It isn't someone posted one on here that is already out and available to the public ages ago.
