Hi-Tech Goggles Bring Augmented Reality To The Slopes
With the Tel Aviv, Israel based RideOn augmented goggles, you can transform and enhance your time on the slopes. Users are even able to set up an obstacle course to ride through, earning points on the way. For a limited time, $519 gets you the pair of goggles, from which you can access a myriad list of options, such as finding out exactly where you are on the map- helpful should you get turned around while snowboarding or skiing. When you’re waiting for your turn for a chair lift and want to have some fun while passing the time, you can play a game. You can check your email. You can make reservations for dinner. All in the comfort of your goggles. Wanting to be as user-friendly as possible, they created a floating user interface that the wearer interacts with without losing visibility. It’s centered in the middle of the display, not the sides, as in other AR goggles. Because they are skiers and snowboarders themselves (and have friends and family that are) they designed this device for ease of use and usability in mind.
