I would have to real world demo the Skully before laying out that kind of $$.

I still get emails from them - no booth at Moto Show in Long Beach -

Guess they still aren't in production from the tone of emails

For $1500.00 it needs integrated Garmin GPS and a bike to bike intercom.  Screw the phone functions, I ride a bike so I don't have to answer the damn things anyway.

And here we are a year after the last post and the thing still hasn't been shipped.

Glad I wasn't one of those people who preordered and dropped $1500...

Well, if you were ever thinking about getting a Skully helmet - forget it.
The helmet will never come out.

https://techcrunch.com/2016/07/12/ar-helmet-maker-skully-ceo-and-chief-of-staff-booted-out-by-investors/

Quote
"Interestingly, many of the people still waiting for their Skully AR-1 helmet actually come from the company’s Indiegogo fund raising campaign. However, a little-known fact with the Indiegogo terms of service actually makes it so Skully is not obligated to fulfill its “gift” promises to backers.

Today’s news means that those investors, not customers, will out of luck in terms of getting a physical product in their hands. Pre-orders made through the Skully website will likely see a similar result, which means over 1,500 people will be left without the helmets they were expecting."

15 million dollars wasted, all they had was a mock up of cheap Chinese helmet with some electronics in it. It was either the incompetence of owners or fraudulent plan from the beginning.

From what I kept hearing, to say that the electronics were glitchy were an understatement. If they make a camera that you can mount on the bike facing backwards that integrates with Google Glass, then you're golden.
