I had posted earlier about the concepts behind smart helmets. I will expand on that with a fundamental design plan of a sensorhelmet. This project will start with a component list of the items that will comprise the sensor helmet. It breaks into 7 distinct category groups with sub components in most of those groups. Category Groups descriptions of the sensor helmet design and requirements. Casing – This is the helmet. Every…
Seems like an odd title since components are those discrete gizmos on a circuit board. Truth be told, the aggregate processing power of the cloud is not fully realized. This cloud of potential is increasing with each passing moment. Everyday, some individual, group, team, research facility, corporate entity, or government agency adds another bit to it. It’s more than the data stored on it. It’s more than the hardware it runs on. It’s more than the software that supports it. …
The concept of using a sensor laden helmet is nothing new. My first thoughts of this type of bike helmet were brought about by the QuickFire sensor lab last quarter. The smart helmet term is something coined to describe a helmet that has sensors on it. Truth be told, wearing a helmet is fundamentally the smart thing to do. I can attest since bomping my noggin at the skate park with my son. Actually, I’ve known that fact for much…
