March 5, 2008 / AFP [machine translation] —Tanizawa, a Japanese safety equipment manufacturer, is showing off their new mobile utility helmet, the “U-met”, which is equipped with a QVGA camera, a GPS device, a LED light and a headset at the “SECURITY SHOW 2008″ currently being held in Tokyo…more...
The real idea here for the “U-met” helmet is for a hands-free device for first responders–fire fighters, security personnel, and rescue workers. It is not for Cam-Girls, but somehow it sounds like Japanese AV industry might be more interested in the device.

For more info, see the official websites of Tanizawa Corporation for the “U-met” in Japanese and vague English.
