I hate Dyson with a passion but I have to admit that seeing this on the street with some regularity would make me glad that the cyberpunk future we already live in is slowly gaining the aesthetics in addition to the dystopia.

I simultaneously think this is a silly combination of things, and also REALLY WANT THIS TO BECOME WILDLY POPULAR because I want wearing cool, anime-looking helmets to become du riguer.
Just needs some sort of HUD and and a little help from Knight Industries.

I feel like there should be a slot for something silly like an air-freshener cartridge.

These aren’t just “not for COVID protection” – they are full-on COVID spreaders. They can’t protect you from any viruses already airborn but they will do a very good job spreading any viruses that you have to everybody around you!

My wife was looking to purchase a new hairdryer a couple years ago and stumbled upon the $400+ Dyson Supersonic. I then found my favorite product reviewer. He normally reviews power tools.
the guy is hilarious.
he says pretty early on that Dyson was a great salesman not a great engineer.
