Skully Helmet
Weller invented the Skully AR-1. The AR-1 was to be the first vertically integrated, smart, Heads-Up Display (HUD) helmet for consumers. In addition to an HUD system that displays at a virtual distance of 10 feet (3.0 m) in front of the rider, the AR-1 was to feature a near 180-degree rear-view camera, turn-by-turn GPS navigation, smartphone pairing and voice control. Weller also served as Skully CEO until July 2016, and the company shut down later the same month.
Weller with his brother and co-founder, Mitch Weller, were sued by a former executive assistant for fraudulently using Skully's corporate funds for personal use.
The lawsuit was later dropped, and Faithauer gave the following statement: "I worked at Skully, Inc. from May 2014 to December 2015. In developing the company, Marcus Weller and Mitchell Weller came up with a great concept for the business and it was a good place to work. After I was let go by the company, I was upset and hired an attorney who filed a lawsuit against Skully, Inc., Marcus Weller, and Mitchell Weller based on my understanding of the facts and circumstances at that time. However, through discovery, I learned that there were many facts, documents, and information that could lead a reasonable jury to conclude that my claims were totally without merit. My attorney concurred in this assessment, which is one of the reasons I dismissed my claims against the Wellers and agreed to settle for a mutual release of claims. I wish Marcus Weller and Mitchell Weller good luck in their future."
