Hey everyone! Thanks a lot for your support in the last 2 weeks since our Thanksgiving launch. We noticed a little bit of confusion on our social media pages in the past days and wanted to highlight a few things:
- Yes, our display is transparent! By definition, a HUD is a transparent display in the users field of view that he/she looks through. We wouldn’t call it a HUD if it was opaque. In the 3D print you see here, the display looks like frosted glass. Please rest assured that this is a transparent surface in the final product.
- The focal length of the display is set at 30ft – you are not physically refocusing at the HUD 3.5in away from your eye.
- We are not selling a helmet with a HUD. Ride:HUD attaches to any full-face or modular helmet you already own and you can easily slide the unit of the base plate and attach it to a different helmet.
- The image is not projected onto the visor. It is created on the transparent display outside of your visor allowing you to see the image with your visor cracked or fully open.
