Abstract

Following the development of technology and people's pursuit of a better life, MR technology has been applied in more and more scenarios. Based on the current research status, this project proposes to design a MR headset for cyclists. The helmet is developed based on Raspberry Pi, equipped with heat dissipation function, HD camera, and infrared camera are selected as sensing devices, HD camera is enabled in good light conditions, and the infrared camera is enabled in bad light conditions. The rider can observe the road conditions and outside information through the camera displayed in MR glasses in real-time. In addition to the live camera screen display, it can also display the time, memo information, and other functions. The map screen can be called up to show real-time navigation information. In addition, the helmet has built-in small Bluetooth audio. It can be connected to the phone via Bluetooth. The helmet is equipped with a total of three high-brightness LED light strips installed on the front and rear side of the helmet, which can be controlled by a button to make the light strip achieve the function of the turn signal. The gyroscope is installed in the button box of the light belt control. After detecting a fall, the buzzer and LED lights will go into alarm mode, which can improve the safety of the user's ride.
