LiveMap: Helmet with Navigation and Voice

I recently happened across this video from a Russian company that is now offering a new carbon fiber helmet design that includes voice and built-in GPS navigation and a heads up display projected onto the face shield. With all day battery power and voice commands similar to Siri in the Apple line I think this concept is a winner. Imagine getting directions as you ride without having to look down. Watch the video and see what you think, at higher speeds the display features only a limited amount of data so as not to distract the rider. I’m pretty impressed. The initial price is fairly steep at $2000 (early birds can get one for $1500). Obviously mass production will drive that price down and I think this design has the potential to save lives.
