Recon Instruments Teases Google Glass Competitor for Athletes

 

Before Google Glass got everyone excited, Recon instruments was putting a heads-up-display in alpine goggles. sound judgment from a teaser imag Recon sent us, it looks uniform the same engineering science depart land on glasses soon.

Recon Instruments wouldn’t guess anything at all about the glasses in the pic, merely we already know its innovative Live system delivers speed, meridian and location data to a small display in bottom right corner of goggle made by Oakley, Zeal and Scott. MOD Live besides alerts you to text messages and calls via Bluetooth and displays holiday resort trail maps with the location of your buddies and important landmarks (the lodge and first financial aid stations) on the map.

Google Glass has jump started put-computers-on-your-face technology in the prehistoric year, and there’s no doubt Google Glass looks like it’ll be cool. But it’s durability remains to be seen, even if Glass is a far more delightful approach to wearable computing than the device seen on the sunglasses in Recon’s teaser image. But Recon knows its glasses will be used by athletes who are riding, running and, occasionally, falling. If MOD Live works as well in sunglasses as it does in goggles, it’ll be a great carriage a great way to track a workout.

And if it also shoots photos and video, it could be a Google Glass killer.
