Our technology

Aegis Rider is the world's first motorcycle AR system with full spatial anchoring. Here's how we built it — and why it's harder than it looks.

Head-fixed displays

The problem with today's HUD technology

It follows your eyes

Most motorcycle HUDs are physically fixed to your visor — the display rides where your head rides. Check your mirror, the speedo follows you in. Scan an apex, the nav icon sits over the corner you're reading. And because it's always there, your brain can't fully ignore it . The information that's supposed to help you ride becomes a layer over the things you need to see.

Borrowed technology

Head-fixed displays come from consumer AR — smart glasses, remote work, walking navigation. In a living room or factory, having information always in view is a feature. But motorcycling isn't that. It's high-speed, high-consequence, and every glance is deliberate. Technology designed to be permanently visible works against the very instincts that keep you safe on the road.

What today's HUDs do

The display is fixed to your visor. It follows every head movement — checks, scans, glances. Simple, but it means the HUD is always in the way.

The Aegis Rider approach

How spatial anchoring works

Step 1

Track

A dedicated tracking camera built into the helmet captures your head's position and rotation in all six degrees of freedom — continuously, at high frequency, compensating for engine vibration, lean angles, and rapid head movements at speed.
Step 2

Anchor

The helmet's tracking data is fused with your smartphone on the handlebars into a single reference frame: your motorcycle. The system always knows where your head is relative to the bike — not just which direction you're looking, but exactly where you are in 3D space.
Step 3

Render

Content is placed in the real world, not on your visor. HUD elements sit in a fixed position ahead of the motorcycle. 3D navigation arrows appear at the actual junction. Turn your head to check a mirror, and the display leaves your view entirely.

Vehicle-anchored

Breakthrough HUD anchored to your motorcycle

The HUD sits in a fixed position relative to your bike — typically a few metres ahead, configurable in the app. Turn your head to check a mirror and the HUD naturally leaves your view. Look forward again, it's right where you left it. Your speed, navigation, time, and calls live here.

World-anchored

Breakthrough Navigation anchored to the real world

3D navigation arrows are placed at actual GPS coordinates. A right-turn arrow appears at the real intersection and grows as you approach. Ride past it, it stays behind you. This is AR navigation as it should work — the information is where the turn is.

Before trying the system I was sceptical, as I had already tried some other similar devices. But after using the Aegis solution, my opinion has changed completely, and I think this will be the future. We can have so much information just in front of our eyes and at the same time we don't lose the concentration. Aegis is, so far, the most promising tech on the market.

Fighter pilot kit ready to roll: Aegis Rider's new head-up display could be a game-changer.

In the CONCEPT AMG GT XX, augmented reality technology is integrated directly into a racing helmet for the first time. The development partner is a start-up from ETH Zurich.
