For me the biggest concern I had when I looked at this was to what degree it could compromise the safety characteristics of the helmet, in particular:
1/ Anything that reduces the amount of compression available from the internal foam will significantly reduce the main benefit of a helmet in reducing brain damage.
2/ Anything that increases weight will aggrivate the main drawback of a helmet (giving your head more leverage to wrench your spine in an accident).
3/ Similarly any tethering or external modules are going to risk wrenching your neck in the event of an off.
It looks incredibly cool but I can't help but think it compromises most of the safety value I wear a helmet for in the first place.

- flatfilefan 13y agoGood points. I guess the only thing new to a helmet industry is the projector. Everything else can be found in high-tech helmets already. Check the Schuberth C2 with bluetooth inlay. I wonder if the projector can even be placed outside the protective hull and shine in through a hole? That will mitigate the point 1.
