Earlier this month, Recon Instruments released a new app for skiers and snowboarders that allows you to control your GoPro HERO4 camera remotely—and to access a real-time viewfinder—using snow goggles like Oakley’s Airwave 1.5, which are equipped with Recon’s Snow2 heads-up display.

Israel-based defense technology firm Elbit System has over 30 years experience in vision systems, augmented reality, and integrating real-time data into pilots’ helmets. With their recent spin-off of new company Everysight, the firm now plans to bring their heads-up display technology to the consumer market with a pair of cycling smart glasses to be launched next year.
As you run or ride, it’s not always easy to know exactly when to eat or drink, let alone remember to actually do so. In order to keep you happily bonk-free during your training, Recon Instruments developed a nutrition app to work in conjunction with their heads-up display unit, Jet.
Augmented reality (AR) appears to be the next big thing in snow goggles. Back in March, RideOn announced the release of their AR goggles and now new entrant GogglePal launches their version via a Kickstarter campaign. GogglePal connects to any pair of goggles and works with your phone to store data and connect with your friends.
Years in the making, the Recon Jet heads up display is finally shipping. Built for running, cycling, or other high intensity sports, these smart glasses deliver activity specific information instantly, just below your eye.
Looks like Oakley, Recon Instruments, and Garmin held a meeting of the minds in order to create the ultimate in snow goggles. The latest Oakley Airwave 1.5 not only delivers Recon’s heads-up display functionality, but now also enables you to live view and control your Garmin VIRB Elite action camera.
