Skully Helmets shows heads-up display for motorcycle riders (video)

We may be looking at a new class of device, the "smart helmet".

It has a Head Up Display (HUD) with vision from a 180 degree rear view camera, turn-by-turn GPS navigation & voice control of telephone & music. Sounds pretty smart to me.

At the rear is an aerodynamic tail which reduces buffeting as well as housing the electronics.
