About Halo Snjallhjálmur

Halo er heilhjálmur hannaður fyrir ökumenn rafmagnshlaupahjóla. Hjálmskelin er með ISI- og DOT-vottun og vegur um 1460 grömm. Innbyggðir hátalarar styðja tónlist, símtalastjórnun og samskipti milli hjálma ökumanns og farþega. Hátalararnir eru staðsettir og stilltir þannig að umferðarhljóð heyrast áfram. Öll rafeindabúnaður er staðsettur utan skeljarinnar, fjarri höfðinu, í höggþolnu hylki með IP65-vottun. Sjálfvirk notkunarskynjun kveikir á hjálminum þegar hann er settur á höfuðið. Segulmagnað þráðlaust hleðslutæki smellur á aftara hylkið.

Production Technology: Ather Halo was built to be a helmet first. It is an isi and dot -rated helmet shell. To ensure safety, all its vital electronics have been housed outside of the helmet shell and away from the user's head in its own IP-rated impact-grade housing. The housing contains all the intelligence like the motherboard, a battery and a wireless coil with magnets to allow our wireless chargers to effortlessly latch on to the helmet.

AutoWearDetect: This is achieved through a contact-less proximity sensor inside the helmet and an Inertial Measuring Unit
Calibrated Sound: Through careful positioning and tuning of the speakers, Halo has been designed for audio without losing road awareness.
Onboard Media Controls: In combination with the Ather Rizta or the Ather 450 series, all control for music and call has been incorporated on the handlebar of the scooter itself, allowing you to never take your hands off the handle and fiddle around with the helmet during a ride.
Wireless Charging: To achieve a seamless and effortless charging experience, a Wireless charger with magnets has been built into the rear housing to allow you to latch our wireless charger or to allow you to simply place the helmet into the Ather Rizta under-seat storage and have it charge wirelessly in the storage itself.
-Noise Rejection in microphone: To allow a clear speech, the mic can reject any outside wind/traffic noise to make sure the person you're speaking to hears your voice clearly
Inspiration: Its inspiration came accessories like the apple pencil and the airpods. While the idea of a bluetooth enabled helmet isnt entirely new, halo was built to add way more convenience and effortlessness when paired with a vehicle like the Rizta. I
-Auto Wear Detection lets it detect when it is being worn and power on/off automatically, allowing a rider seamless access to its audio experiences.
-Wireless charging allows it to provide effortless charging by latching our wireless charger to the helmet
Operation Flow: Ather Halo is a full-face electric scooter helmet with built-in Bluetooth speakers (with sound by Harman Kardon). Its sound is designed so that, even at full volume, you can hear the surrounding sounds of the road clearly, making it completely safe to ride with. It’s built with Auto WearDetect automatically switches on the moment you wear it and connects to your smartphone's Bluetooth. And when your ride is done, and you store the Ather Halo in the boot of your Ather Rizta, it charges there, wirelessly.
