Head-up displays for motorcycle helmets have been around for a number of years, whether integrated or as an add-on accessory, without extending their market beyond a niche of tech-loving bikers. Now German firm Digades is hoping to break out into the mainstream thanks to its latest collaboration with Slovakian mapping firm Sygic.
The Tilsberk HUD is designed to project critical information onto a rider’s visor, including speed limits, actual speed and navigation instructions and connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth. It works through a dedicated smartphone app which allows custom displays and route mapping using TomTom maps.
The compact device is lightweight and comes with a magnetic mounting for the helmet so that it can be quickly and easily removed for charging, and it projects information onto a small fold-down transparent screen in front of the rider’s eye. Battery life is up to 12 hours. It is suitable for any type of helmet – full-face, jet, flip-front – and has an SRP of €399.
