A remote control helmet

casco-joystick A young Japanese man has invented a helmet similar to that of a bicycle that is operated with a joystick and allows to guide another person by “remote control” . Its mechanism is very curious, since to indicate to the user when and in which direction the device should move, it gently tugs on the ear .

Although the idea may be extravagant, and even funny, its creator has found a serious application for it: to act as a “guide” to guide the blind . Although at the moment the helmet would have to be controlled by a human guide, it is possible that in the future it will be perfected with proximity sensors and GPS connection that allow it to function with total autonomy.
