"Information" sunglasses

Designed for professional athletes, Informance sunglasses are designed to display statistical information visible with peripheral vision on one of the lenses.

The image is generated by a miniature LED screen that is powered by a small battery placed in the left handles of the glasses. The screen resolution is 160 × 120 pixels. Information about heartbeat, movement speed, etc. comes wirelessly from the wrist “clock” that comes with Informance.


The visible area of ​​the screen occupies 12% of the “user’s” field of view. But, according to manufacturers (and these are several companies, mainly British and German), this does not affect the normal receipt of visual information.

At the moment, "smart" glasses are still in the testing stage. Informance will most likely appear only in 2009. I hope that by that time the screen will become somewhat better, and the functionality will expand. The speed of running on the periphery of view is good, but the latest news from your favorite sites or meteorological reports is much better. Not everyone around can afford to buy such a device for $ 1,500 exclusively for sports.
