TVS Motor Company has taken a bold step into the future of connected riding with the TVS Aegis Rider Vision Helmet, developed in partnership with Swiss deep-tech startup Aegis Rider. First showcased at EICMA 2025, this helmet introduces an entirely new category of motorcycle gear by bringing Augmented Reality (AR) Heads-Up Display (HUD) technology into a rider’s natural field of view.
This is not a typical Bluetooth-enabled helmet. The Vision Helmet aims to transform real-time road awareness by displaying key information directly in front of the rider — without needing to look down at a screen or meter console.

Spatially Anchored AR — The Core Breakthrough
The most impressive innovation in the TVS Aegis Rider Vision Helmet is its patented spatial anchoring system.
Unlike standard HUD displays that float or shift as the rider moves, this technology locks virtual elements to the real world. So even when the rider turns their head, the projected data stays perfectly aligned with the motorcycle’s movement and road environment.
This dramatically improves focus and reduces distraction, especially while riding at high speeds or navigating traffic.
AR HUD Features — Real-Time Data With Zero Distraction
The helmet uses a compact magnetic binocular µOLED projection system to show sharp, high-contrast visuals inside the visor.
What the AR HUD Displays
- Turn-by-turn navigation
- Current speed
- Real-time alerts and notifications
- Adaptive brightness for all lighting conditions
- Anti-glare visibility during harsh sunlight
When paired with TVS motorcycles, as demonstrated on the TVS RTR 310, the AR system can also show:
- Turn indicator status
- Gear position and RPM
- Fuel level
- Basic vehicle diagnostics
TVS has also confirmed plans to expand features like V2X communication, ride-assist functions, and cloud-based analytics as part of a connected riding ecosystem.
Premium Build, High Safety Standards
Even with advanced electronics inside, the Vision Helmet remains a premium, globally certified motorcycle helmet.

Launch Timeline and India Availability
TVS showcased the Aegis Rider Vision Helmet as a near-production concept, but the brand has not yet confirmed pricing or launch dates. However, judging by the level of development, the helmet appears close to production.
Once it arrives, it is expected to become one of India’s most advanced riding accessories — setting a new benchmark for motorcycle safety and connected features.
Final Word
