Augmented reality company
Everysight announced that its Raptor smart glasses for cyclists are entering
final development. The glasses overlay sharp, high resolution information onto
the cyclist’s view to enhance athletic performance. Eyesight has also kicked
off a Test Pilot Program to give consumers access to the pre-release version of
the Raptor glasses to help shape the user experience by providing feedback on
the product. The company says, its patented BEAM technology allows the
information appear as a projection out in front of the user rather than
delivering information with an object located around the eye area that obscures
the rider’s vision.
The on-lens projection displays
real-time information such as turn-by-turn navigation, time, distance, speed,
heart rate, cadence and power, while reducing eyestrain and keeping a rider’s
vision clear. Riders may choose to use a controller located on their
handlebars, voice command or a simple swipe and touch pad located on the
temples of the Raptor to control functions including maps, volume, brightness,
communication and more. A look-and-shoot camera captures high definition video
that can be uploaded and analyzed post-ride. Videos can also be shared with
friends and followers through any social media channel.
