Skully AR-1 Augmented Reality Helmet Now Ready For Preorder + Video

Skully (www.skullysystems.com) today announced the company has begun production of its highly anticipated AR-1 motorcycle helmet, the first vertically integrated smart HUD helmet for consumers. In addition to a revolutionary Heads Up Display system that displays information approximately 10 feet in front of the rider, the AR-1 helmet features a near 180-degree rearview camera, turn-by-turn GPS navigation, smartphone pairing and voice control, making it the world’s smartest motorcycle helmet. The AR-1 was introduced in late 2013 to worldwide acclaim, resulting in more than 100,000 beta tester applications. Skully is taking pre-orders for the AR-1 helmet exclusively on Indiegogo. The 30-day campaign will feature limited time, special pricing on the AR-1 and will be the only opportunity to ensure they will receive early shipping.
