Sounds cool! A helmet… for one’s protection? Well, I think we’ll see.

Another helmet idea:

One could put a tag inside a (motorbike) helmet and it would continuously measure its max acceleration. A G threshold level would be like 5G and if hit, driver’s mobile phone could send/call a SOS alarm: “driver down!”

Bought two of these:

Now we attach Ruuvitag (and Sigfox GPS) to those so that we can track users and change information displays based on user nearby

Perhaps he just turned his head to check out…

Found a nice simple app which does exactly this but no support for external sensors (yet).
