Winter Sport Googles With Heads Up Display

| Feb 12, 2010 | 1 comment

This is brilliant.  I have been an avid skier for 25 years and I would buy these in a second.  With the additional possibilities like friend tracking, trail maps, and GPS location awareness, skiing the Swiss Alps would be like camping in your back yard.

Order yours at Zeal Optics, shipping this October . Real time stats and more await you on the slopes.

Available this fall for between $350 and $450, Transcend goggles are a partnership between two companies: Zeal Optics and Recon Instruments. The result is a pair of goggles that contain hardware to measure speed, altitude, time, temperature and GPS coordinates—a slew of information that’s displayed through a HUD. Charging and data transfer occurs over USB.- Gizmodo

    I've gone skiing once in last 15 years… but this appears to be completely badass.

    Especially, with being served information, while you are on the slopes…
