About X Skier スキーヘルメット
X Skierは、ゲレンデでの安全性を高めるためにデザインされたスキーヘルメットである。後方を滑るスキーヤーは、前方のスキーヤーがどちらに曲がるのかを見極めることができず、急な進路変更は衝突を引き起こす恐れがある。X Skierは、ヘルメット後部にモーションセンサー式の方向指示機能を備えることでこのリスクに対処し、明るさ・位置・色の変化によってターンを知らせる。異常な速度や進行方向を検知すると警告信号が作動する。サイドの耳部分に内蔵されたBluetoothデバイスにより、メタルボタンを介して音楽操作、通話、緊急通報が可能である。

- Unique Properties
- After interviewing 50 ski enthusiasts, a severe painpoint about skiing experience and safety concerns was found.
When people ski, the skiers in the back cannot see the skiers' direction in front. Sometimes the sudden change of direction makes it easy for two skiers to collide. So a smart ski helmet with a power sensor indicator was designed. When the user tends to move left and right, the indicator light on the back will automatically indicate the direction to the skier in the back, and then they can avoid a collision in time. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 190mm x Depth 170mm x Height 200mm
