What if you could get access to buddy location, geo-location maps, calls and texts as well as performance data all in your ski goggle? That is the question Recon Industries asked and is currently developing for the snow sports market and it looks remarkable.
From Recon Industries website: “Our patent-pending technology platform integrates Head Mounted Display systems with state-of-the-art sensor and GPS technology providing instant access to live navigation, communication, and performance-based information.”
The idea puts the data on a screen inside goggles most enthusiasts already wear, overcoming a major adoption obstacle. Users can access the data at will and use it in ways that improve the sports experience. One could easily envision a rental market for these as well.
No launch date or target price has been announced. One thing is certain, this is not a goggle you want to leave on the chairlift.
