Abstract

A motorcycle helmet includes a data processor configured to facilitate communication between a rider wearing the helmet and a motorcycle, the motorcycle and the helmet communicating location and orientation of the motorcycle. An augmented reality system with a display is disposed to facilitate presenting an augmentation of content in an environment of a rider wearing the helmet, the augmentation responsive to a registration of the communicated location and orientation of the motorcycle At least one parameter of the augmentation is determined by machine learning on at least one input relating to at least one of the rider and the motorcycle.

Claims (24)

1. A motorcycle helmet comprising:

a data processor configured to facilitate communication between a rider wearing the helmet and a motorcycle, the motorcycle and the helmet communicating location and orientation of the motorcycle; and

an augmented reality system with a display disposed to facilitate presenting an augmentation of content in an environment of a rider wearing the helmet, the augmentation responsive to a registration of the communicated location and orientation of the motorcycle, wherein at least one parameter of the augmentation is determined by machine learning on at least one input relating to at least one of the rider and the motorcycle.

2. The helmet of claim 1 wherein the motorcycle comprises a system for automating at least one control parameter of the motorcycle.

3. The helmet of claim 1 wherein the motorcycle is at least a semi-autonomous motorcycle.

4. The helmet of claim 1 wherein the motorcycle is automatically routed.

5. The helmet of claim 1 wherein the motorcycle is a self-driving motorcycle.

6. The helmet of claim 1 wherein the content in the environment is content that is visible in a portion of a field of view of the rider wearing the helmet.

7. The helmet of claim 1 wherein the machine learning on the input of the rider determines an emotional state of the rider and a value for the at least one parameter is adapted responsive to the rider emotional state.

8. The helmet of claim 1 wherein the machine learning on the input of the motorcycle determines an operational state of the motorcycle and a value for the at least one parameter is adapted responsive to the motorcycle operational state.

9. The helmet of claim 1 further comprising a motorcycle configuration expert system for recommending an adjustment of a value of the at least one parameter to the augmented reality system responsive to the at least one input.

10. A motorcycle helmet augmented reality system comprising:

a display disposed to facilitate presenting an augmentation of content in an environment of a rider wearing the helmet;

a circuit for registering at least one of location and orientation of a motorcycle that the rider is riding;

a machine learning circuit that determines at least one augmentation parameter by processing at least one input relating to at least one of the rider and the motorcycle; and

a reality augmentation circuit that, responsive to the registered at least one of a location and orientation of the motorcycle generates an augmentation element for presenting in the display, the generating based at least in part on the determined at least one augmentation parameter.

11. The helmet of claim 10 wherein the motorcycle comprises a system for automating at least one control parameter of the motorcycle.

12. The helmet of claim 11 wherein the motorcycle is at least a semi-autonomous motorcycle.

13. The helmet of claim 12 wherein the motorcycle is automatically routed.

14. The helmet of claim 13 wherein the motorcycle is a self-driving motorcycle.

15. The helmet of claim 10 wherein the content in the environment is content that is visible in a portion of a field of view of the rider wearing the helmet.

16. The helmet of claim 10 wherein the machine learning on the input of the rider determines an emotional state of the rider and a value for the at least one parameter is adapted responsive to the rider emotional state.

17. The helmet of claim 10 wherein the machine learning on the input of the motorcycle determines an operational state of the motorcycle and a value for the at least one parameter is adapted responsive to the motorcycle operational state.

18. The helmet of claim 10 further comprising a motorcycle configuration expert system for recommending an adjustment of a value of the at least one parameter to the augmented reality system responsive to the at least one input.
