Interesting. Not bad, but interesting....

lol, I think I would be trying to swerve out of the way of cars that weren't there if I put that thing on. Would definitely take some getting used to!

I think that would almost be more of a distraction for me. Yeah it would help but seeing 2 views out of one already small opening....

optics!

I think this is an absolutely BAD *** idea, BUT I'm not sure its practical / producible enough.

I'll wait to see if it takes off before I'd consider getting one, but man what a neat idea.

hmmm...I'm not sure about that. I like the concept, but can any of you focus on your helmet lense? Catch my drift?

I expect it to be a mirror system, not like a monitor. So your eyes would be focusing in the distance as they are for looking ahead, not up close. hold a mirror up to your face and look behind you, you dont focus on the mirror, rather the image it reflects.

I wonder if there would be a blind spot and if not could it replace the mirrors?

I think that would distract me. Or scare me as i see a huge semi barrelling down behind me at a stop light. I don't need that. I just turn my whole head back as i always do.
