The firm that brought us the Veypor on-bike datalogging system has launched the first heads up display (HUD) for bikes. So now you can see how fast you?re going without taking your eyes off the road.
The system works by transmitting all the info from the Veypor unit on your dash, up to a wireless device that attaches to your helmet. Then all you have to do is glance upwards slightly and you get all the info you need, including speed, rpm, gear and lap time.
The time it takes to look down at the dash on your bike can be as much as 3 seconds because your eyes take so long to refocus so close, but the HUD eliminates this altogether.
The display on your helmet is set up so that to see it you have to focus your eyes on the road in front of you. This means that you don?t have to refocus your eyes every time you look at it.
The system is currently on sale in the US and the firm is getting it approved for sale in the UK as we speak.
