About X Skier Горнолыжный шлем
X Skier — это горнолыжный шлем, созданный для повышения безопасности на склонах. Лыжники, едущие сзади, не видят, в какую сторону повернёт тот, кто движется впереди, и резкая смена направления может привести к столкновению. X Skier устраняет этот риск благодаря указателю направления с датчиком движения на затылочной части шлема, который отображает поворот за счёт изменения яркости, положения и цвета. При нештатной скорости или направлении движения включается предупреждающий сигнал. Bluetooth-модуль в боковой части, у уха, позволяет управлять музыкой, принимать телефонные звонки и совершать экстренные вызовы с помощью металлической кнопки.

- 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
