Smart helmet startup Skully is attempting a comeback, promising to finally ship products to the thousands of customers burned by the company's spectacular failure last year. 

Skully, which tried to revolutionise the motorcycle industry with a US$1,500 (RM6,333) augmented reality helmet, crashed and burned a year ago, without delivering the vast majority of the 3,000 products customers pre-ordered and paid for. Now a new company is rising from the ashes, to be called Skully Technologies, and the owners have vowed to get the high-tech helmets on customers' heads by next summer.
