That would be really cool. Granted, I don't want to drop $1500-2000 for the cool helmet, but it is still cool.  Guess I'll wait until the technology becomes more common and the price drops some.

Totally agree.  It's a neat concept.  Not at all sold on the practical application without seeing some significant road test study though.  And not until it's much much cheaper.  Early adopters can do all that beta work and gin up production levels to bring the prices down for us :drink: .

That thing should really make my tri-focals go crazy. I tried a pair of helmet mounted rv mirrors for bicycle and they were a disaster, can not image how this thing would work, but it sounds cool.

I'd be interested if the technology is included in a premium lid like Arai, Schuberth, Shoei, etc. Be a shame to put that in a Fulmer and charge that sort of money for it.
