The Intelligent Cranium iC-R is a motorcycle helmet that brings together an audaciously futuristic design concept along with some seriously high-tech features. This is a helmet packed with insane technology including a pair of full-color LED heads-up displays, two rear-facing cameras, built-in Bluetooth communication and phone connectivity.
In addition to these already-impressive toys, the iC-R also offers voice control, LiDAR rear-ended collision warnings as well as an electronically controlled LCD visor that can tint itself dark at the simple touch of a button.
Of course, you might reasonably opine that a helmet filled with such awesome features would constantly run out of battery life. Well this is why the camera features a solar panel built on top of it. This incredible suite of features could be offered for a projected retail price of only $1600. Currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, the iC-R, if it comes to market, will surely be the most high-tech smart helmet to date.
