Well, here is the technology: (From the Reevu website, "http://www.reevu.com/rv.asp")...
"It has taken 7 years of intense research and development to perfect the rear view system that is fitted in every Reevu bicycle helmet.
The patented multiple mirror system that is fitted within every Reevu bicycle helmet is a unique achievement of creative thinking and technical excellence. The mirror system is manufactured from a reflective polycarbonate material rather than glass. Unlike glass, this material is almost impossible to break and is lighter, providing additional safety and comfort to the wearer.
Put simply, the system effectively bends the light around the shape of the top of the head all within the moulding of the helmet to provide a clear view of the road behind.
Early prototypes were met with absolute astonishment. It is so stunningly apparent from the first moment a Reevu helmet is worn that it really will make a huge difference to the safety of cyclists on our roads.
With product development now complete, Reevu is confident that its technology will transform the comfort and safety of cyclists who wear Reevu bicycle helmets."

I don't know about this. Anybody else ever driven in Italy? I don't recall anybody using any sort of rear-view mirror!

(OFF TOPIC ALERT
Sarnali,
Have you seen/heard/ridden a RIII yet?
I've seen both the red and the black and heard one in the shop. The bike has several detail points the show bike did not have. It comes stock with a load of chrome. In fact, most folks are asking the dealer how much stuff he'd put on it.
Comes off the sidestand easier than my Sprint, but you feel the weight when you go to roll it to or fro. The greatest thing, though, is the throttle response. It revs like a 600 sport bike! First gear is pretty much useless, from what I understand. 3rd, 4th and 5th aren't really necessary either.
It desperately needs some "off-road" pipes, though. Very quiet exhaust.
Glad I like my ST so much! If I didn't, I'd be scrounging around looking for stuff to sell to get one o' dem Rockets!
