    Looks awesome, but for the price I will just peek down at my speedometer.

    Strange, I was just looking at this.. There's a bunch of interest from the skydiving/ wingsuit freak community.

    Considering you have to look down at the speedo anyways, wouldn't be much different from having to look downward towards a tiny LCD screen.

    I like the idea though. It would be better if it were embedded in or projected on to the shield.

    Make it part of the screen out of a bendable transparent OLED panel.

    I was looking for something like that and found this.

    If it was done right so as not to obscure your vision or distract you with bright flashy colors....put an OLED screen that fitted over your helmets screen...add a high resolution night vision cameras forward and aft, any stats you wanted to track from the ODB2 connector, GPS info, the latest Ironman movie lol etc etc etc

    Re: Recon HUD

    OLEDS tend not to be cheap and shields tend to get destroyed in crashes.
    Might be better to have something that projected onto the shield that would be better protected.

    Either way, cool.

    saw this last year in a ski magazine. i wanted one until i saw the price tag. you could use it on a motorcycle if you wore goggles like on a dirtbike/supermoto

    yep, I saw a youtube of a kid that removed it from the goggles and installed it on a Shoei helmet.
    It looked great but the lack of apps and the information presented didn't apply to well.
