About X Skier Topi Keledar Ski

X Skier adalah topi keledar ski yang direka untuk meningkatkan keselamatan di cerun. Pemain ski di belakang tidak dapat melihat arah pemain ski di hadapan akan berbelok, dan perubahan arah secara mendadak boleh menyebabkan pelanggaran. X Skier menangani risiko ini dengan penunjuk arah pengesan gerakan di bahagian belakang topi keledar, yang menunjukkan pusingan dengan mengubah kecerahan, kedudukan dan warna. Kelajuan atau arah yang tidak normal akan mencetuskan isyarat amaran. Peranti Bluetooth pada bahagian sisi telinga membolehkan kawalan muzik, panggilan telefon dan panggilan kecemasan melalui butang logam.

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.
