Really cool but $1500???

I agree. They may be pricing themselves out of business. Rather than projecting an image through the helmet, couldn't they use an endoscope like device?

Do you know where that scope has been ?

Pricey right now, but it may be approachable in the near future. Remember when hand-held calculators were about $300? Or this could be the Beta format of the helmet industry, who knows. (Really dating myself here, aren't I?) Of course, I can see this type of technology becoming standard in the auto industry before it comes to the 2-wheel segment. Interesting concept, though.

Good point GLV55. When E.T. first came out on VHS video it cost over $100 to own (not rent). With luck (and sales) their prices will go down, or a break through in the tech will lower the price.
