Skiing fanatics with a tendency for gadgets will definitely be interested in the world’s first true augmented reality ski goggles.
RideOn augmented reality goggles bring skiing and snowboarding into the future with a remarkable array of capabilities. The technology used by the start up company RideOn enables wearers to ride through virtual slalom tracks, take and stream live skiing videos, interact with friends and post their creations to social media. All these without pressing a single button or having to go through the time-wasting trouble of removing your gloves.
The device features a see-through display projecting augmented reality (AR) layers on the snow. Users can spot their locations on the resort map, find lodges and ski lifts highlighted in the distance and get slope and navigation information.
Phone apps or external devices are completely unnecessary, users can just look at points of interest, friends or varying icons fixed to the sky.
What an amazing way to play ski games and train your skills!!!
