Smart Motorcycle Helmets

The iC-R Features Futuristic Functionality and a Slick Design

— June 30, 2015 — Autos
The Intelligent Cranium iC-R is a motorcycle helmet that brings together an audaciously futuristic design concept along with some seriously high-tech features. This is a helmet packed with insane technology including a pair of full-color LED heads-up displays, two rear-facing cameras, built-in Bluetooth communication and phone connectivity.

In addition to these already-impressive toys, the iC-R also offers voice control, LiDAR rear-ended collision warnings as well as an electronically controlled LCD visor that can tint itself dark at the simple touch of a button.

Of course, you might reasonably opine that a helmet filled with such awesome features would constantly run out of battery life. Well this is why the camera features a solar panel built on top of it. This incredible suite of features could be offered for a projected retail price of only $1600. Currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, the iC-R, if it comes to market, will surely be the most high-tech smart helmet to date.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Motorcycle Helmets - Motorcycle companies can invest in incorporating high-tech features like Heads-up Display (HUD), Rear-facing Cameras, and LiDAR into helmets to provide a more immersive and safe experience.

3. Voice-controlled Devices - Voice-controlled wearables, like the voice-centric features of the iC-R helmet, can be developed to improve accessibility and productivity for people with disabilities and professionals alike.
Industry Implications
1. Motorcycle Manufacturing - Motorcycle manufacturers can leverage smart helmet technology to improve rider safety and offer a competitive edge in the market.
2. Wearable Technology - Developers of wearable technology can explore incorporating features like Heads-up Displays, rear-facing cameras and LiDAR into their products for a more immersive and safe experience.
3. Solar Energy - The solar-powered features of the Intelligent Cranium iC-R helmet showcase the potential for further development of solar-powered technology in various industries such as wearables and transportation.
