新华网3月12日电 据科技博客Gizmodo文章,POC品牌推出新产品Skull Orbic H.I. MIPS头盔系列,该系列头盔的内衬部分内置了多个传感器,可适时提醒使用者头盔的更换时间。

头盔的各个部位分布着一系列压力应变传感器,实时测量每次撞击造成的头盔变形程度。每次的撞击会随时间积累,待变形的严重程度及时长超出推荐水平,头盔的红色警示灯将会亮起,告知使用者:是时候该更换新头盔了。

这款头盔将于今年秋天正式面市,售价为480美元。

This Helmet Knows When It's Too Damaged To Protect Your Head

Using a series of sensors inside its liner, POC's new Skull Orbic H.I. MIPS helmet can actually tell you when it's time to buy a new one.

A system of stress-strain sensors located all over the helmet measure the amount of deformation that occurs as a result of an impact. These measurements are accumulated over time, and when the severity and history of impacts surpasses a recommended level, a red light (instead of green) will let an athlete know it might be safer to buy a replacement.

When the helmets are officially available this fall they'll each sell for $480.
