Helmet That Really Shows Warning Lines in Games [Video]

A group of engineers working at ETH Zurich has developed an interesting product called “Aegis Rider HUD”. This product, supported by artificial intelligence, aims to make the life of motorcycle drivers easier. If the developed project can become widespread, we can easily say that Tesla’s autopilot system will begin to be used in motorcycles.

The Aegis Rider HUD is basically a motorcycle helmet. Making this product smart, which every motorcycle owner should use, the project team has created a driving aid. Instantly mapping and calculating with artificial intelligence, the helmet allows the driver to constantly follow the obstacles in front of him and take the bends safely. Thanks to this system, it is thought that driver-error accidents can be prevented.

The artificial intelligence assisted driving aid developed by the engineers is used through the face shield part of the helmet. When drivers lower the visor of the helmet, they can continue to see their surroundings normally. However, the Aegis Rider HUD has some additions on top of normal vision. These additions serve to automatically show obstacles on the road and the safest road line, with speed and slope information. This allows the driver to follow the line and take corners safely, or avoid being distracted by a pedestrian or vehicle.

While the Aegis Rider HUD is quite impressive, it seems to have some shortcomings as you can see in the video above. For example, when you wear this helmet, your field of vision inevitably decreases due to the coloring. In addition, the created safe route is created only through calculations. It is not fully understood whether that route will cause an accident if the road is slippery.
