Skully, the company that the helmet has evolved, began Monday a crowdfunding campaign IndieGoGo .
In thirty days hoping the makers to get $ 250,000, but within 24 hours the counter was already at more than three times that. The campaign is still just 29 days.
The AR-1 is special because of the presence of a so-called head-up display that incorporated in the motorcycle helmet is. On the projected screen to see different information, as is shown in a video of a practice test.
The virtual screen is positioned so that it is clearly visible to the driver, but not in the way. The standard information that can be displayed on the screen, GPS navigation, images from the rearview camera and incoming calls. The navigation is only seen as necessary to minimize distractions, says Skully.
The rearview camera position can be changed and provides nearly 180-degree visibility. Thus, according to Skully not only to see what happens behind the engine, but also what is possibly located in the blind spot.
The AR-1 is temporarily available for $ 1,399 (1,050 euros) and normal is at $ 1,599 (1,195 euros). The first helmets are delivered in May 2015.
