Slide 1 - Hello my name is Nigel Whitbread and I'd like to talk to you about VIS COM. A design concept for a helmet to be worn by sports enthusiasts who take part in motorcycling, parachuting, hand gliding or paragliding competitions.
Slide 2 - Imagine if you will driving a motorcycle in a road or off road race or piloting a hang-glider in a competition, and you lose your way because you haven't any form of sat nav. You know not which way to turn.
Slide 3 - With sat nav you may never get lost, BUT
Slide 4 - Your instrument panel or control bar starts to get over cluttered with more and more devices. You need to have wires trailing to a headset so that you can hear your sat nav's directions, because the weather gets too bad to see the screen, and so you can communicate with your ground or pit crew.
Slide 5 - Now imagine once more how life used to be with just the basics, but with the risks of losing your way, and maybe the race.
Slide 6 - With the VIS COM helmet you could have the best of both worlds. You can lose your cluttered instrument panel, and have the data infront of you instead, projected with a heads up display.
Slide 7 - And with built in GPS, you'd need never lose your way again.
Slide 8 - Using speech recognition software you will be able to access all of the applications completely hands-free, which means you will always be in control of your bike or glider. For example you could simply have the map disappear from the screen by saying...
Slide 9 - " Map off screen "
Slide 10 - The concept itself is based around your traditional bike helmet
Slide 11 - But with added technology. It contains a CPU/GPS receiver, which put simply is the brains of the device and compute where you are using satelite navigation.
Slide 12 - A head set with a mic and speakers is to be used with the speech recognition software to control all of the applications and for use with the radio.
Slide 13/14/15 - The heads up display will be created by projecting transparent maps, up to the minute GPS data, speed, and other information onto the inside of the visor by using holographic laser technology
