SMART – The World’s First Smart Cycling Helmet Monitors Your Heart Rate Without a Chest Strap

TheFuture — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:08:56 +0000

SMART helmet is the world’s first smart cycling helmet which monitors your heart rate without using a chest strap. This safety gear features built-in heart rate sensor which provides real-time and accurate data, thank you to its lightweight microprocessor with advanced algorithm, sensor, accelerometer and full wireless communication capabilities.

The original sensor and algorithm was developed for jet fighter pilots and astronauts. The company tries to integrate the system onto a cycling helmet, thus, resulting a device that measures your heart rate under normal or extreme physiological conditions without having to force you to use chest straps. You can read the statistic in real-time using your mobile devices such as smartphones, sports watch, or computer. It’s been designed and built for intense activities in extreme environments, the result is pretty accurate compared to ECG chest belts in the current market. Therefore, it’s an ideal device for athletes in any cycling activities.

LifeBeam is the company behind this concept, they need your help to bring SMART helmet concept to reality. You can back this project here.

Designer : Life Beam

The SMART will arrive to you ready-to-use with no assembly required.
The systems includes:

Lazer Sport GENESIS helmet integrated with LifeBEAM sensing technology
LifeBEAM’s physiological sensor & processing unit:
Integrated 3-axis accelerometer
Bluetooth 4.0 or ANT+ Wireless Communication capabilities
Rechargeable Lithium battery – at least 15 hours of continuous usage
Weight: 50 grams (0.132 lbs.)

The sensor & technology integrated into the SMART platform will allow future implementation of additional sensing, sound & display features.

Glass Street Sign by Aibek Almasov

TheFuture — Wed, 08 May 2013 15:36:37 +0000

Glass Street Sign is an innovative project designed specially to help pedestrians to cross the street. User can activate the sign when needed by pressing the metal sensor, then wait for about 10 seconds to give other drives time to slow down, we kinda hope the designer would use another light as a warning during this process. In the morning, this street sign gets its power from the solar panels installed at the top, the sensor detects night time and it displays glowing red light during the night. Hopefully this sign helps reducing the numbers of accident victims.

LED Turn Signal Gloves are great safety equipment for cyclists and motorists. We share the road with other vehicles, thus, informing them about our direction is one of crucial action to avoid accident.

Expand Lifebuoy Concept for Faster and Easier Rescue

TheFuture — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 09:33:13 +0000

Expand Lifebuoy concept it’s an enhancement from our conventional lifebuoy. It features 4 extendable handles to make rescues easier and faster. Usually when a lifebuoy is thrown out to help someone who is in danger of drowning, it needs more efforts from the victim to grab the lifebuoy, especially when it lands at some distance away. There are times when the victim doesn’t have more strength or ability to swim over it.

Expand Lifebuoy expands itself for larger rescue area. When someone casts it out, the force of the spin releases those 4 handles. These extended handles make the victim to reach lifebuoy easier, number of people rescued at one time can also be increased.
