Description
MOD Live provides performance information (e.g. speed, vertical distance, jump airtime), navigation, buddy tracking and smartphone connectivity (including SMS, Caller ID and music playlists) direct-to-eye via a micro Android computer which stealthily integrates into specifically designed goggles created by leading eyewear brands, such as Oakley. The HUD has been designed to enrich, but never disrupt the user’s alpine experience, delivering crisp widescreen graphics when you want them, and keeping them out-of-sight when you don’t. The HUD’s Android OS means that users can personalize their experience with apps, like a smartphone, allowing them to choose how they interact with their HUD.
Key Features
and/or Benefits
Everything from speed, vertical descent, jump airtime, and distance are calculated and displayed using precision GPS and an integrated suite of sensors. The user always knows just how fast they are going, how much airtime they're getting, and how much ground they're covering.
The user has access to over 600 global resort maps that load automatically at the corresponding resort; illustrating runs, chairlifts, points of interest, and more. Stopping on a run and extracting soggy paper trail maps is a thing of the past, with the HUD providing skiers and snowboarders with intuitive navigation around resorts easily and safely. When in the backcountry there is a compass feature which also allows the user to navigate when not on the piste.
Connecting the HUD to the user's smartphone (Android or iOS) via the Engage app provides the user with the ability to track their friends and family, with their locations overlaid on the resort maps stored on the HUD. The user's friends and family don't even need a HUD, all they need is the Engage smartphone app and they can be tracked by the user direct-to-eye in real-time.
Connecting the HUD to the user's smartphone (Android or iOS) provides additional functionality, allowing the user to view SMS, caller ID, and navigate their music playlist stored on their smartphone. Gone are the days of extracting phones from zipped up pockets and exposing bare fingers to the elements. Instead, enhanced connectivity and functionality are provided direct-to-eye, and navigated via the bluetooth wireless remote.
Recon's MOD Live HUD runs on the Android operating system. This allows users to take advantage of the many apps created by developers to customise their experience. Like a smartphone, no two HUDs will be the same as they can be personalised by these apps. This may range from a heart rate monitor app, showing the user's heart rate direct-to-eye, to a point of view action video camera app that uses the HUD display as a viewfinder. The possibilities are endless.
