News EyeLights and Shoei launch augmented reality helmet.

Eyelights takes another step into interactive display and augmented reality with its 3rd-generation product. In 2017, the French startup embarked on the adventure with the EyeRide, a set comprising a hands-free kit, microphone, headphones and, above all, a suspended display to be placed inside the helmet. This allows the rider to have a small window of information in the corner of his eye without losing sight of the road.

At the end of 2024, EyeLights signed a partnership agreement with Shoei, one of the world's leading helmet manufacturers, to offer a more advanced, fully integrated system. The result for 2026 is the GT-AIR 3 Smart, the world's first mass-produced helmet with a head-up display directly on the visor.

How does this work? A miniaturized projector sends the image onto the inner visor, simulating a virtual screen some 3 meters away. The rider can thus have the road, landscape, speed, GPS route, speed camera alerts, message notifications and calls permanently in front of him or her. No need to look down at the speedometer.

The company claims a 30% gain in reaction time. A plus for safety.
Of course, the system doesn't work on its own. It must be connected to your smartphone to use its full potential. The other big advantage is that everything is already integrated at the factory. There's no installation to do, just switch it on and pair it up.

The Shoei GT-AIR 3 Smart is also a complete multimedia system, with unlimited universal intercom, microphone, headphones, Siri and Google voice assistants, nano-OLED HUD display, music player, phone calls. All in Shoei quality, among the best on the market.

At 1,200 euros, the Shoei GT-AIR 3 Smart Eyelights is a definite financial effort, more than double that of a standard GT-AIR 3. But that's the price of the most technologically advanced helmet on the market.

Fighter pilot technology in a motorcycle helmet! With today's hypersports, motorcyclists already have some real Rafales at their disposal. As for trail-GTs, the electronics are on the level of an Airbus. Without going so far as to create bridges between aeronautics and motorcycling (although.... Find out more about Safran and its history in the days of Gnome and Rhône), we can see that the technology of one finds applications in the other. While the experience of head-up vision has long existed in automobiles, and connected glasses herald the next evolution of devious dependence on technology, Eyelights proposes a vision of the future where augmented reality would serve the rider in just the right dimension.
