Yeah, that Reevu helmet has been around for a few years. Never seen one in person. A lot of hype at first and then nothing. The concept's cool but it must have problems. Among them might be aerodynamics. Looks kinda tall. Maybe wind-buffeting is a problem.

I remember someone selling one here in the classifieds several months ago.

That's a cool idea. The image as seen from the camera seemed a bit intrusive, I hope it's not that bad when on an actual head.
 
Good idea.... until you hit something hard. The mirror needs space to work, meaning that there will be a wide slot from front to back; plus the big hold at the back of the helmet - do we really want something like that inside our helmet?
 
1) cool idea
2) i wonder how it does in US safety tests (firestorm of controversy)
3) she's hot
3a) doctor of some sort, increase hotness
4) they're driving on the wrong side of the road!

peel back the lining of your lid and you might be surprised how much air is already there

It's in that bubble in the helmet, above the liner.
 
Can't wait to go home and see how this mirror works. I always wished for a car-style rear view mirror, one that lets you see directly behind you, but always thought that was an impossible dream on a motorcycle.
 
Not that I'm an expert, but wouldn't they use fiberoptics to reflect from the back to the front? Using a bundle of fibers it should be possible to transmit an image (like a medical endoscope). That sounds considerably less dangerous than a mirror assembly.
 
I tried one of these on a couple of years ago. One of the Vampires had managed to get a hold of it. Aside from the helmet being too big for me, it worked great. The mirror wasn't obstructing my regular visor view, although I didn't road test it. It had a hefty price tag so I left it as a cool idea.
 
This has been posted before.

There are questions of view being too high on a sportbike (with head tilted down/forward) and I wonder what the glare from headlights may be like.

It's not a glass mirror.

Still, having a fiber optic conduit from a rear lens into a front projector is advantageous because it takes much less space. This mirror system, while compact, still takes a lot of space - space that could be used for impact absorbing EPS foam.

Imagine having a smallish lens in the back of the helmet that feeds a fiber optic taper running to the front of the helmet. It achieves the same effect, but is much more compact.
