If you're a fan of comic books and sci-fi pop culture, you're probably familiar with the artificial intelligence system in the suit of Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man. It was this idea that inspired a group of startupists who came up with their Jarvish project. This is a smart motorcycle helmet that looks like something from a futuristic movie. The new Jarvish X and Jarvish X-AR range combines the advantages of a traditional safety helmet and technologies in the form of voice assistance and augmented reality. When riding a motorcycle, you will feel like you are in a virtual video game, while your overview of the surrounding situation will be enhanced even more.

The helmet from the Jarvish X-AR line, takes driving conditions to a higher level. As the name of the helmet already implies, we can spice up the ride by using an augmented reality interface in the style of Google Glass. The virtual display offers information such as the current speed, showing exact turns and direction of travel, incoming calls to your smartphone and also the current weather. With this helmet, you can also monitor what is happening behind you and your motorcycle, as there is a second camera on the back of the helmet. This version will only be launched on Kickstarter in mid-2019 and its price is estimated at $2599, which is quite a bit more than the previous model. The first deliveries of Jarvish X helmets started in Taiwan, but gradually the company is also preparing for the global launch of sales.
Well, this is great, but probably the best way to kill yourself... maybe it should be subject to the Assisted Suicide Act...
On a motorcycle, the most important thing is to concentrate on yourself and on the ride and not be distracted by the world around you, anything else is a road to the rut...
