Skully AR-1 "smart" motorcycle helmet: the most successful project on Indiegogo of all time

On Kickstarter and Indiegogo, it often happens that the campaign is raising funds faster and more than planned. Of course, it also happens that a great, at first glance, idea collects several times less.

But with the Skully AR-1 smart helmet, the story is completely different. On Habré , they already wrote about this helmet , then it was clear that the campaign on Indiegogo was very effective. But that she would be so well advanced, no one imagined, I guess. And now the project Skully AR-1 can be called the most successful in the entire history of the resource. 1 million US dollars was collected in just 45 hours, a record for Indiegogo (for Kickstarter, it seems like too). In addition, it has already been collected 6 times more than planned ($ 1.5 million instead of the planned 250 thousand).

It is worth recalling that this motorcycle helmet is equipped with a mass of useful systems and accessories, including a wireless stereo headset, microphone, light filter. There is also a display like Google Glass, to which the image of the wide-angle rear view camera and a lot of other data are transmitted.



Skully AR-1 features:

• Transparent display;
• GPS navigation;
• Wide-angle rear view camera;
• Scratch resistant;
• Moisture protection;
• Anti-glare protection;
• Hands-free system;
• Bluetooth module, connection with a mobile phone;
• Projection transparent display;
• High-quality audio system;
• Sizes S-XXL.

Also there is the ability to connect to the network via a smartphone, with the ability to download new maps for your route. The battery lasts about 9 hours of conversation. Of course, there are bottlenecks: for example, the price of a helmet at $ 1399 will not please everyone. But the cost of such a helmet is hardly low, so its price is likely to be justified.



As for the pre-order, it can be issued from the manufacturer , or, for Russia, you can submit an application for receiving the goods from Medgadgets .
