GPS helmet

May 13, 2009 gps navigation, misc news

This GPS helmet manufactured by Japanese NEC is called U-met. Not only GPS, but the helmet also incorporates a camera, and a microphone to communicate with a base station over 3G networks. We had actually talked about this GPS helmet back in July 07 but there are a few differences now, such as the front warning lights and the communication headset.

Anyways, the device is designed for security personnel, rescue workers, and fire fighters. It is very unlikely that you’ll actually get your hands on this… via
