Abstract: Example systems and methods are described that help increase the situational awareness of a user of a helmet, such as a motorcycle helmet. One or more cameras are physically coupled to the helmet, where each camera includes a lens and an associated image sensor. Each camera is configured to generate a video feed, which is presented to a user on a display. The video feed represents a field-of-view around the helmet, and may be projected onto a surface, such as the visor of the helmet, thereby enabling enhanced situational awareness for the user of the helmet.

Abstract: A situational awareness system is disclosed herein for providing heads-up display to a user on a moving vehicle. The display is focused at an ocular infinity in order to prevent accommodation lag in the user's comprehension. A super wide-angle (e.g., 170 degree to 210 degree) rear-view camera provides rearward looking video imagery to the user, which may be digitally processed and enhanced. Additional information is optionally provided in the display, including maps, turn by turn directions, and visual indicators guiding the user for forward travel. Additional information is optionally provided by audio. One embodiment comprises a full-face motorcycle helmet with a see-through micro-display that projects a virtual image in-line with the helmet-wearer's field of view. A second embodiment comprises a unit that projects a virtual image on a windshield in the operator's field of view.
