Seriously, that's what it is. Not a new idea of course, this Indiegogo just raised $3.5M for one: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/park-diamond-foldable-bike-helmet#/ But Perry's one is the size of a banana. Just like Theranos could test 800 things with drop of blood... --- End quote --- this one? https://www.ecohelmet.com/ --- End quote --- Likely quite similar in design, hence the "banana" shape reference. Seems like she's way late for the party, unless it's maybe a motorcycle class helmet? |

| StillTrying:
When can I get one? Our launch date has not yet been finalized. https://www.ecohelmet.com/copy-of-about-us I wonder how many $mil they've burnt through so far in managing to produce no paper hats. |

Now all we need to do is change physics to actually make it work! Seems like the same concept for success they had behind uBeam... On the other hand, that helmet concept looks strangely familiar... Exactly like these foldable paper lanterns we had as kids, actually! ;) |
