HUD

While wrist-mounted dive computers certainly are handy, they can still be awkward to look at when you're underwater in full scuba gear. The Arex One mask offers an easier alternative, as it puts your dive data right in your field of vision.

When the GT-Air 3 Smart helmet debuted at EICMA last year, plenty of people questioned whether it would ever actually make its way to shop shelves. Lo and behold, it finally has!

Scientists at LG have developed a floating augmented-reality windshield display that projects navigation, alerts and media at different virtual depths so information appears to float ahead of the driver.

Shoei has just launched the GT-Air 3 Smart, the world’s first moto helmet to feature fully integrated augmented reality thanks to a partnership with EyeLights, which specializes in head-up displays and Bluetooth audio kits.

Even in clear water, it can be easy for divers to lose track of which way they're heading. An experimental underwater navigation system could help keep that from happening, using a combination of electromagnetic waves and HUD (head-up display) tech.

AI, AI, AI…It’s everywhere, right? Well, AI has now made its way to motorcycle helmets. The iC-R provides riders the highest level of protection by combining 300-degree FOV, crash detection, and seamless connectivity into a single, smart helmet.

The Rocket One is a wonderfully futuristic-looking concept motorcycle, with a massive LED headlamp that looks like a jet engine inlet or the Argo’s wave motion gun from Star Blazers, and enough power, torque and battery to make things interesting.

Lockheed Martin's F-35 Lightning II is the most expensive military fighter plane ever produced at US$109 million per craft plus $6.6 million in annual operational costs – and the helmet you need to fly it is one of the most impressive features.

Augmented reality eyewear is great for providing turn-by-turn navigational cues, but a lot of the goggles and visors have a kind of tech-nerdy vibe. Blucap Moto sunglasses are different, in that they won't make you look like a Sheldon Cooper wannabe.

While HUD (Head-Up Display) technology is becoming increasingly common in cars and even motorcycle helmets, it's still largely unavailable to cyclists. That could soon change however, if the SoulRS helmet-mounted HUD reaches its crowdfunding goal.

BAE Systems has taken the wraps off its lightweight LiteWave Head-Up Display (HUD) system that is designed to be easy to install in the cockpits of a wide variety of military and civilian aircraft and be more comfortable to use.

Aegis Rider, a spinoff from ETH Zurich, is developing an AI-enhanced augmented reality head-up display for motorcyclists. It identifies and highlights road hazards, and shows you the optimal line to take through corners based on mapping data.
