Luxottica, Intel Pair Up For Virtual Reality Eyewear
Intel is pairing up with Italian eyewear company Luxottica to help launch new “smart” glasses with a voice-activated coaching system. The glasses — named “Radar Pace” — fall under Luxottica’s subsidiary sports brand, Oakley, which was acquired by Luxottica in 2007.
Radar Pace glasses are aimed at athletes and are said to create a personalized training program that will interpret running and cycling performance data in real time.
Radar Pace glasses are intended to be “hands-free” and able to respond conversationally to users’ questions through Intel Real Speech. The Bluetooth audio headset connects athletes for phone calls and texts, as well as listening to music.
