Re: Rearview Helmet
It's a novel idea, but I see it causing a lot of accidents initially.

Re: Rearview Helmet
Seems like a great idea in theory,it would be weird when you turn your head left or right seems like it might create a vertigo effect.

I don't think it would be a problem to get used to it. I would love to try it out.

Re: Rearview Helmet
Hmmm, I don't seem to have a problem knowing that cars in my rear view mirror are behind me. I think that's one of the best ideas I've seen in a long time. It's so damn hard to see if there are cops behind you with the vibrating side mirrors and everything is way to small to make out anyway.

Seems like a good idea to me for the street...interesting implications on the track.

Great for the serious commuter, would take some time to adjust to it, and it's probably megabank.

Re: Rearview Helmet
might be better if it were a display down on the windscreen, in that case it just as well be a rear mount camera to the tail...........

Re: Rearview Helmet
You know, I never really see the top 1/4 of my Visor, anway. I think it would be easy to ignore and only be 'seen' when you direct your eyes to it...

I'd like to try one out. Since it's from a foreign country, I wonder if it's DOT approved?
