Olympic cyclist Josiah Ng has started a Kickstarter project to raise money for what is being called a “two-way helmet cam.” From the sound of it we wonder if Ng was looking at introducing a camera that would allow communication between two people – sort of a Skype camera for the bike.
That’s not what he meant, but rather a “two-directional” camera that could be mounted to a helmet. The idea behind this concept is to provide cycle commuters with a “post-incident” security system. This way the camera can record not only what is coming from behind but shows where the rider’s eyes were towards the front. And technically this one isn’t limited just to cycling and could be used for any sort of post-accident study. Video after the jump
