A helmet that signals when you turn and stop

I love the Psfk newsletter, where people from all over the world write about innovative ideas, crazy communication campaigns and so on. It makes me curious and impressed by humans. Oh dear, how creative we have the potential to be! 


This new invention is awesome, don´t you think? :)
 

MOTORCYCLE HELMET SYNCS WITH TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKES, LIGHTS UP TO ALERT DRIVERS

The Signal concept helmet light is a removable attachment that syncs with your motorcycle’s brakes and indicators via RFID signals.

• ‘Signal‘ is a helmet attachment that aims to improve motorcycle safety through advanced technology. Made from a stretchable reflector fabric and a lightweight fiber-optic fabric called Lumigram, it easily fits over any full-face or open-face helmet. The concept, currently featured on product development site Quirky, could enter production soon if enough interest is shown.

‘Signal’ syncs with your motorcycle’s brake lights and turn signals via easy-to-install RFID transmitters. So when the brakes are applied or the rider uses a turn signal, the light on the helmet indicates these to give the motorcycle increased visibility to other drivers.
