San Diego, California based NUVIZ has
announced the commercial availability of the
first fully integrated Head-Up Display (HUD)
designed specifically for the needs of
motorcycle riders. With a $10m investment
from KTM owner Stefan Pierer driving
production, their fully integrated HUD is
designed to be added onto a motorcyclist’s
full-face helmet and displays customizable
information near the rider’s natural line of
sight.
NUVIZ say that their system “seamlessly brings
together all of the important functions of
motorcyclists’ navigation, communication and media
players into a single device, allowing riders to stay
connected, but not distracted. NUVIZ includes a
built-in HD action camera and a wireless handlebar
controller that ensures intuitive control of all
functions.
“Once mounted to the helmet and aligned to the
user’s eye, the advanced NUVIZ optics create a virtual
image that “floats” just in the periphery of the
eyesight, reducing eye movements and the need to
re-focus inside the motorcycle’s cockpit. This
integrated all-in-one system removes the cockpit
clutter of multiple devices, and allows a rider to move
from motorcycle to motorcycle with a single helmet-
mounted solution.
“Adventure motorcycle riders, who often stand while
riding, will enjoy consistent access to all their
important information without having to look down
into the cockpit. Powered by NUVIZ, riders can take
charge of their riding experience and interact
seamlessly with all of these different technologies in
one easy-to-use device.”
Co-founder Malte Laass says that “years ago we
“the NUVIZ optics
create a virtual image”
were sure we had a good idea and the right technical
expertise to bring this product to market. As
enthusiasts, we wanted to develop a solution that
not only enhances and simplifies the riding
experience, but lays a foundation for the forthcoming
technology revolution that will affect riders.”
NUVIZ pairs with a dedicated smartphone app
available via the App Store and Google Play, allowing
riders to plan routes and save favorite rides, instantly
access photos captured with NUVIZ, or view riding
stats tracked with NUVIZ’s comprehensive set of
sensors. The NUVIZ app will also allow users to share
their rides, discover new routes, record ride data, and
edit and upload photos instantly via social media. The
NUVIZ app allows for easy updates and the addition
of new features as they are added, further improving
the rider experience.
Through a combination of features on the app and
the handlebar controller, the rider can access critical
information such as current and posted speeds with
“enhances and
simplifies the riding
experience”
