The 'Beacon Helmet' comes as a modern piece of equipment for the growing number of urban consumers who need an effective means of staying safe when they cycle around the city. The helmet works by incorporating a series of lasers that will project onto the pavement in front of you and to the sides to ensure that drivers, pedestrians and other cyclists can always be aware of your approach. This is accented with indicator lights on the front and rear as well as an accompanying smartphone app that lets users control the unit more intuitively.
The 'Beacon Helmet' can be set to project the digital image of a bicycle between 16 feet and 39 feet in front of you to warn everyone that you're nearby.
