Gadget- Recon HUD goggles

 

Just saw these and thought they were interesting.

GPS plus a small HUD that feeds you info. Apparently Micho Erban is partnering with these guys.

They seem pretty cool but wouldn't you rather focus on the road

Needs a camera lens on both sides to shoot 3d footage. Most of the information these display is pretty useless anyway. Mischo is like a magpie, haha likes shiny things!

 

They do look pretty space age though. Might be a larrrfff.

Write to them and tell them about the 3D camera. I think its a great idea.

2d camera YES, 3d camera NO, seriously, a 3d cam is going to odds on not work for 90% of people its going to jack up the price hugly and consumer 3d is still a load of junk

i wonder how cluttered the HUD is, seconded on just keeping it a 2d camera. maybe add a cop radar too? :D

A heads up display, with a feed from remote camera so you can see around that blind corner....

i got a feeling they would be targeted at sky divers more then DH skaters

looks mad but some of the stuff u wouldn't need like the temperature, altitude,vertical odometer and chronos-but even then they would cost a little too much

skydivers and alpine snowboarders/skiiers, I'm sure you could make it only show selected info.

 

If you could link this with a camera, like the go pro, I would be drooling

a radio wouldnt be bad either, so you can communicate with the other guys your riding with
