MODVIA - MODular Vision Integrated Architecture
MODVIA is a modular helmet concept designed to improve versatility, safety, and camera integration across multiple motorsport and action sport environments. The project explored how a single lightweight carbon fibre helmet platform could be adapted for use in disciplines such as mountain biking, motocross, and motorsport through interchangeable components and modular construction.

Research identified a key issue within many sports and road environments: externally mounted action cameras can compromise helmet safety, interfere with impact performance, or violate warranties & regulations due to modifications to certified protective equipment. In many competitions and jurisdictions, helmet-mounted cameras are restricted or banned due to the risk of snagging, altering impact behaviour, or becoming projectiles during crashes. MODVIA addresses this challenge by integrating a flush-mounted camera mounting system directly into the helmet structure. Using a concealed magnetic mounting plate, action cameras can securely attach while maintaining a seamless helmet surface that reduces aerodynamic drag and potential impact hazards.
The helmet’s modular architecture allows users to convert between open-face and full-face configurations through interchangeable components such as a removable chin bar and visor system, allowing for money-saving measures for consumers. Designed using CAD modelling, the concept focuses on lightweight carbon fibre construction, ergonomic fit, and adaptable functionality for both recreational users and professional sporting applications.
MODVIA demonstrates a product development approach combining safety research, regulatory awareness, and modular industrial design to create a flexible helmet platform suitable for multiple high-performance environments.
