I might be a traditionalist, but I go snowboarding to get *away* from computers and screens. To be free in the great outdoors. I can see the value in having dashboard metrics like speed, temp, GPS, etc. but not to set up virtual "gates" that I need to snowboard through.

What about Recon's goggles? How is this AR and Recon's not?
William Sternlicht
@d0b0 Was about to comment this. Recon's first pair was launched in 2010. Experience (in store) was almost identical to the demo here, minus video recording.

I'm confused, does the AR cover your entire vision? Or just the corner 'screen' inside the glasses?

Hmmm, seeing as google ski googles already set you back $100+/pair, and are flexible enough to endure a fall I'm very skeptical of these. Their purchase page says they will retail for $899 but you can preorder for only $629!! Augmented Reality for action sports, and skiing could be really fantastic. But nothing they showed in the video was compelling. I wouldn't message my friend to follow me, I'd just tell him too with words out of my mouth. I doubt the electronics would hold up well to more than a handful of intense falls before breaking, and it seems to require a phone to do a lot of interactions. Whenever I do get out to ride I love being able to disconnect and enjoy the air, snow, and friends.

Display: 24° (diagonal) viewable area Much like the Google Glass (and to a lesser, but still frustrating degree, HoloLens), the viewable area they are suggesting here in no way corresponds to what they are promising in the video. The idea that you put these on and your entire field of view becomes an active AR overlay is misleading.

Seems safe....

Wow 🙀 Might be awesome 🏂 More details about the AR? How is it working, what are the features?
Callan Christensen
Awesome concept, I just can't take what their mockup/concept video is promising seriously. :(

This is badass! Good luck!

I think, Product idea is very nice, according the demo video. I also think There are many other areas than just snowboard.

From someone who loves snowboarding, this has so much potential. As long ad the full lense has AR capabilities and not just a corner, there could be some great software games coming out of this. #WeeklyConferenceCallsOnTheMountain

Really really annoyed with this. Had huge potential but huge failure.

Pros:

Nothing. Cost me thousands and won’t work.

Cons:

If there’s an Apple App out there, I can’t find it. Useless without it.
