The Future Of Motorcycle Helmets

In the comparison of all shielding gear that you carry, Motorcycle Helmet is undoubtedly important item with the intention of reducing or even prevents injury. On the other hand, we live in a technical advance society equipped with numerous gadgets with smart features but technology in motorcycle helmets’ field remains to stand almost at the same place as it was a few decades ago.

But now the scenario of Helmets’ market is changing now you can buy open face helmets online instead of road side vendors. Either now or soon technically advanced helmets are available for sale that looks set to offer an extreme improvement to protect your skull and life. Now I am writing about the features that could be available in the future helmets.

Google Glass

When you are walking on the street and get a bit lost, in that situation you can pull out your Smartphone and open navigation.  But the same thing is very dangerous while you are on the bike. That’s why a London Based company working on the helmets that come with Google Glass to help bikers to navigate the location with ease and safety. The helmet could use data from bike and street maps to show up shortest routes, inform about danger zones, and sense blind spots around big vehicles.

Noise Cancelling

While you are on the bike, your ears are bombarded with different types of loud noises continually. These noises not only come from the engine but also the wind passing over your helmet. Level of these noises depend on the type of your helmet, for example, it can be low in Flip up Helmets but can reach very high every dangerous level if you flip up your helmet.

Now here comes the noise-canceling technology that consists of two loudspeakers, generally in a headphone with one or more integrated microphone(s) that “listen” to the outside ambient sound. When there’s an exacting steady noise, like the sound of your engine, wind, traffic noise, etc, the fixed processor generates a contrasting noise, in that way canceling the source noise.

Communication

Communication through your bike helmet is a good idea, this is possible with latest Bluetooth module & upper mentioned noise canceling technology. This technology facilitates to stop outside ambient noises plus you can listen to music and talk with your friends & family while driving the bike.

There are many other features that we can expect from the future of motorcycle helmets are LED lights on the visor which can flash most probably to make the road more visible in the darkness, G sensor that detects the accident before moments & notifies friends & family with GPS to co-ordinates of the incident etc.

List of the features is very long, but basic expectation from the helmets has remained the same and that is saves the life of bikers.
