hey jeff, i really like the presentation of your idea. the renderings are excellent and look good with the effects and type face you applied. i think the helmet style that looks slightly like a brain(?) is also very cool!..for the neuro testing etc its quite fitting. visually your stuff is always inspiring...nice one! phoebe .L
Well the presentation is great but I have a few questions regarding its actual purpose and when the product would be used. I can see clearly that this is a cycling helmet, used by road cyclists of an elite level. However the information it provides would have very limited if any use at all for the coach and/or athlete. In a training situation I can see some benefit in fostering a focussed and alert athletic regime/state of mind and a further understanding as to what point the rider gets drowsy within each ride. When it comes to racing though, that’s a whole different story. As an athlete(well, used to be) I and most people know that if you’re not mentally and physically ready for a race then there is no reason to even start it. If the athlete feels like he wants a nap during a road race, maybe he shouldn’t be there... maybe you should modify what the design actually measures. Perhaps fast twitch fibre that are required for sprints or another example of a physiological change or measurement that could be used to improve the cyclist’s fitness and therefore his/her chance of winning. Something to think about.

Usability wise - is this worn all the time or just after an event or training session?
The helmet and glasses idea is very high-tech and I would need to see some evidence that this technology is accessible.
