Skully Ar-1

I'm still convinced they're data capturing. They been doing it for what, two years now?

And I was kinda right http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2016/08/09/skully-kickstarter-lawsuit/

They sold a dream not a product,,,

It seems they may have made as little as 2 working helmets as well.

I don't think they sold dreams.. Instead, they made people pay for THEIR dreams, quite ingenious.

I've yet to see a working one though? OK, I didn't look hard but I've only seen CGI videos?

I stand corrected but actually its no different to those clip on devices people keep yapping on about. Actually looks like a cheap helmet with a HUD clip on, nothing like the promo videos

Edit - Closest thing he's compared it to is the Sena...Bluetooh audio and not once seen the HUD in action

Well chased did say its a good helmet,
but alas...

I'm not gonna judge but I dunno, I guess its not a review based on a purchase........

New chase vid.

He did give it away though.

I just think it's sad from a innovation standpoint

I think the AR helmets will come relatively soon. There are still options being developed that can be fitted to existing helmets. No problems with extra lumps on our helmets when we already got the cameras and intercoms right?

Looking forward to when riding looks like the HUD of Halo tho.

Yeah this whole situation sucks. This is why I shy away from crowdfunding in general. Good, honest people lost a lot of money on this. I'm sad for the tech impact too. Even if a legit company comes along now offering something similar they'll be met with skepticism and fight an uphill battle.

Did anyone see the allegations against the Skully founders about use of the funds from investors? Renting supercars, beach vacations and strip clubs.

Yep - and also that's whats causing crowd funding back two years...

Just before they started shutting down... 2 days before I almost pulled the trigger. I had been watching them and saw they were finally 'shipping' vs 'next quarter' kind of thing... I do love me some tech!
