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.

See What's Behind You is a security technology device that gives people the ability to see and monitor what's coming behind them at a 180 degree rear view angle whether it's human or animal while facing forward. A battery operated camera system is connected by video cable to a screen and memory card that captures recorded activities in real time video.

The technology is incorporated in any head gear such as caps, helmets and eyewear including sun visors.

It's used during personal outdoor activities that bring concern and it's used in professional industries such as branches of Homeland Security to enhance safety with rear vision. It exposes elements of surprise attacks giving people the advantage to conspicuously judge the situation, respond to it quickly and appropriately while lessening their chance of becoming a victim, the real time video images can be used to file a police report.

A rearview mirror that is attached to the front surface; left or right side, of any type of eyewear where rear viewing is needed, but especially designed with sportswear in mind. This design is unique because of how and it is attached; to the surface of the eyewear by so-called socketed suction cup; truly held on by atmospheric pressure. The cup being about inch in diameter can hold on with about 4 lbs of force with a gentle touch because it is made of pliable rubber. The interior of the suction cup has a ball socket housing; both socket and suction cup is all one piece. The stem and ball, is a part of the plastic housing, which encases the mirror, which is all one piece, with smooth rounded edges for safety. The plastic housing exterior acts as an airfoil plate, designed and shaped in such a way to give way to the wind, and cause less turbulence. The ball and socket allows the mirror to swivel in all directions from 0-45 degrees of adjustment in angle, which is adjusted by hand. The mirror can be placed laterally across the eyewear lens also for adjustment without obscuring the frontal view. Facing straight ahead with a slight glance of the eye to the left (right if placed on the right side) as you would do when driving an automobile, you will get 40 to 70 degree rearward view while looking straight ahead; approximately by 1 inch wide mirror. The mirror will enable the user to complete a 365-degree viewing area with only a 45-degree turn of the head to a left then right direction. The mirror is placed in a strategic position on the lens of the eyewear in close proximity to the eye, but not an off-to-the side angle that can strain the eye. This slight 20-degree glance, affords the eye a wide field of view.

A hard hat with symmetric front and back mounting ridges to support a headlamp is described. The hard hat provides mounting ridges to receive insertion slots of a rigid mounting bracket that fit around the ridges. The rigid mounting bracket includes channels to loop a strap through the channels and support a lamp on the bracket. The strap may include a hook and loop fastener system to enable attachment of a variety of lamps to the rigid support bracket. In this way, the hard hat can support a wide variety of headlamps attached to the rigid mounting bracket without destructive alterations to the hard hat. Clips may be added to the rigid mounting bracket to secure or lock the bracket in place during operation and prevent accidental knocks or jarring of the headlamp.

The present invention relates to an intelligent safety helmet with front play of rearview consisting of the helmet body and several ventilation holes designed on it. The helmet body is set in the back with a rearview camera electrically connected with the intelligent hardware set in its front. The intelligent hardware consists of a removable main bracket installed on one side of the helmet body, and the main bracket is installed with an optoelectronic device and a front-facing camera in the front via a rocker arm module, so that the user can use the front-facing camera to take pictures and store them in the memory or activate the rearview camera and project the image onto the optoelectronic device for view of rear conditions by the user. The user can use a transmissive optical module set in front of the eyes to play the pictures taken by the back-facing camera.

A helmet with blind spot assistant function includes a helmet body, a gesture sensation unit, at least one camera unit, a display unit and a control unit. According to a gesture sensation signal generated by the gesture sensation unit, the control unit generates a control signal to control and activate the camera unit to generate video information for the display unit to display the video information. Accordingly, when a user wears the helmet, the user can keep watching the front side and at the same time observe the environmental condition in the blind spots so as to enhance the safety.

A helmet with video acquisition device and display, comprising a helmet shell on which at least one video acquisition device is fixed, and a display arranged at one end of a front piece of the helmet; further comprising elements to allow the movement of the display laterally with respect to the active position in which the display is arranged completely in front of the eyes of a user.

The present disclosure provides a rear-view device, including a helmet and a rear-view image guiding system arranged on the helmet. The rear-view image guiding system includes a light conduction optical fiber bundle, and an objective lens group and an eyepiece lens group arranged at two ends of the light conduction optical fiber bundle respectively; the helmet includes a first cladding region and a second cladding region; the objective lens group is arranged in the second cladding region, and configured to convert received incident light into parallel light; the light conduction optical fiber bundle is configured to transmit the parallel light to the eyepiece lens group; and the eyepiece lens group is configured to converge the parallel light and transmit convergent light to an eye region of the helmet.
