Worlds first GPS goggles with head mounted display

Zeal/Recon have unveiled the world's first goggles with GPS and head mounted display

The image on the tiny LCD inside the goggles is made to appear as though it hangs about six feet in front of the user

The Transcend goggles are available in two lens formats - SPPX polarized and photochromic lens that auto adjusts to changing light conditions and SPX polarized lens that is said to reduce glare by 99 per cent, comes with built-in anti-fog technology and benefits from a wide vision frame

Example of the kind of information information via the head mounted display inside the goggles

 A coming together of sports lens developer Zeal Optics and display innovator Recon Instruments has managed to successfully squeeze both GPS technology and head-mounted display into a set of ski goggles named Transcend. A tiny computer gathers information from a number of onboard sensors and provides location, speed, altitude and temperature information to the wearer via a micro-LCD display inside the goggles. The image from the display is then virtually projected so that it appears out in front of the user.
