Japan's Secret HUD Motorcycle Helmet - Shoei Opticson Review

A new type of head-up display (HUD) helmet is being tested by Showy, a Japanese manufacturer. The HUD features a projector unit located behind the chin bar, a ventilation system, and an access panel to conceal the mounting point for a combiner. The helmet also has a brightness sensor and can project information 10 meters in front of the rider. However, the author notes that the HUD is not yet available for purchase and is only being tested by Showy. They also mention that other manufacturers are developing similar technology, such as radar safety features, which will be included in the next generation of HUDs. The author concludes that while the Showy optics are an exciting glimpse into the future, they may not be practical for everyday use due to their high cost and limited availability.
