NUVIZ starts Shipping HUD for Motorcycle Helmets
NUVIZ, the privately-owned tech company based in San Diego and Finland, has begun shipping the first all-in-one head-up display (HUD) designed for motorcycle riders.
The NUVIZ HUD seamlessly brings together integrated navigation, camera, communication, and music in a single device, allowing riders to stay connected, but not distracted. NUVIZ HUD attaches to most full-face motorcycle helmets, displaying customizable information always accessible near the rider’s natural line of sight, allowing riders to keep their eyes on the road more.

“Bringing NUVIZ to market has been quite a ride. We accepted a big challenge in bringing this device to the market,” said Malte Laass, co-founder, NUVIZ, which has backing from Pierer Industrie AG, the parent company behind KTM Industries, Husqvarna Motorcycles, WP Suspension and Pankl Racing Systems.
“As enthusiasts ourselves, we wanted to design a solution that not only enhances and simplifies the riding experience, but lays a foundation for the forthcoming technology revolution that will affect riders. We are proud to deliver the NUVIZ Head-Up Display to motorcyclists across North America and Europe.”
