LED projector aims to keep cyclists out of pot holes
An LED projector which aims to improve the safety of cycling at night has been unveiled by a team from China's Sichuan University.
Dubbed Lumigrids, the device works by projecting square grids onto the ground.
On a flat road surface, the grid consists of standard squares. On a rough road surface, the grids deform accordingly.
The idea is that by observing the motion and deformation of the grids, riders can easily comprehend the landforms ahead and avoid potential crashes and falls.
Lumigrids can be fixed onto the bicycle's handlebars. Its power is supplied by either an internal battery or by the rotation of the bicycle's wheels.
The projector has only one button so that the rider can easily use it while riding. Three different grid sizes are available.
