High-Tech Ski Helmets

The Forcite Alpine Ski Helmet Has Its Own Communications System

— January 25, 2015 — Lifestyle
Australian company Forcite Helmet Systems has developed an innovative ski helmet that uses technology to take safety, comfort and pleasure on the hills to the next level. This helmet's highlight features include its ability to shoot video, let the user talk on the phone and alert authorities in the event of a crash.

The helmet is fitted with a brow-located high definition camera that captures POV footage at a maximum resolution of 1080p at 120 frames per second. Skiing implies bumps, the Forcite Helmet Systems thought of that -- this ski helmet's camera is equipped with image stabilization.

The helmet uses a Bluetooth module to communicate with the user's phone and enable them to listen to music via built-in speakers or make or receive calls using a wind-resistant mic.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Ski Helmets - The integration of technology into ski helmets is creating new opportunities for safety, communication, and entertainment on the slopes.
2. POV Recording Technology - The use of high-definition cameras and image stabilization in ski helmets allows users to easily capture and share their skiing experiences from their point of view.
3. Bluetooth Connectivity for Ski Helmets - The incorporation of Bluetooth technology in ski helmets enables seamless communication with smartphones, providing features like music playback and hands-free calling.
Industry Implications
1. Winter Sports Equipment - The development of high-tech ski helmets presents opportunities for innovation and growth within the winter sports equipment industry.
2. Consumer Electronics - The integration of advanced camera technology and Bluetooth connectivity in ski helmets expands the potential market for consumer electronics companies.
3. Safety Equipment - The introduction of smart ski helmets with crash detection and communication capabilities offers disruptive innovation opportunities within the safety equipment industry.
