Driven by engineer and biker Romain Duflot, the adventure Eyelights was born from a personal observation and experienced by thousands of bikers: there is no safe and reliable alternative to the GPS fixed on the handlebars which forces you to divert your attention from the road.
While on-board technologies are being developed more and more for cars, users of 2 wheels are also looking to facilitate their driving and gain in comfort.
Inspired by technologies used on the fighter, EyeRide is a futuristic device propelling the augmented reality directly in the field of view of the biker thanks to the technologies of head-up display (HUD).
The idea is to make a elite fighter pilot technology accessible to motorcyclists.

Our founder
Romain DUFLOT, a 30-year-old engineer, began training as a fighter pilot. It was at Dassault and Airbus that the idea of adapting HUD technology to a motorcycle helmet was born. He co-founded EyeLights in 2016 by getting into deeptech.

OUR IMPACT
1 DEATH ALL 24 SECONDS ON THE ROAD
1 DEATH ALL 24 SECONDS ON THE ROAD
1/4 of accidents are caused by using a smartphone.
We are on a mission to improve road safety by bringing information back to the road.
Compared to using a phone while driving, the technology of the eye Lights improves reaction time by a factor of 10.
WHAT IS OUR IMPACT?
WHAT IS OUR IMPACT?
The automotive industry is responsible for 40% of global transport-related emissions. It takes an average of 6T of CO2 to produce a new electric car. ( ADEME )
There are 50 million car accidents a year that could be significantly reduced by bringing attention back to the road. We could save up to 75 million tonnes of CO2 per year by avoiding car repairs and reducing the number of cars produced worldwide.
EYELIGHTS TECHNOLOGY: WHAT IF WE COULD REPLACE REAL SCREENS WITH VIRTUAL SCREENS?
EYELIGHTS TECHNOLOGY: WHAT IF WE COULD REPLACE REAL SCREENS WITH VIRTUAL SCREENS?
A 37'' screen represents 300Kg of CO2, just for production.
180M screens were produced in 2021, for cars alone (2030: 239M).
This is equivalent to 17 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
(2030 : 63M/an)
WHAT MAKES EYELIGHTS TECHNOLOGY UNIQUE?
WHAT MAKES EYELIGHTS TECHNOLOGY UNIQUE?
Smaller is better: our product uses a real screen of 0.17'' which generates a projected virtual screen of 550''.
Our technology uses 217 times less natural resources for production and consumes 732 times less energy.
