Augmented Skiing

GogglePal - First Augumented Reality HUD for Skiers

Augmented Reality (Lucas) | May 2, 2015

Skiers and snowboarders can have extra fun now, thanks to GogglePal, the first augmented reality head up display for goggles. You can enjoy moving through the slopes of a snow covered mountain in your skies or snow boards and at the same time have a taste of smart technology. An otherwise normal skiing or snowboarding experience will become exciting with the addition of augmented reality technology. The project is running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds. It is not a standalone unit like RideOn, another AR goggle for skiers. Rather it consists of two components which can be added to any standard ski goggles.

[About: Hello, it's good to meet you. We're AR Devices, a team of avid skiers and engineers. For years, snow sports hobbyists have been flying blind. Over the course of many ski seasons, we decided that it was time to add another layer of fun to our days on the mountain. After countless hours of research, piles of design sketches, and boxes of prototypes, we created GogglePal, your best pal on the mountain. Technology is already an important part of adventure sports, whether you're texting your friends on the go or tracking the number of runs you take. With GogglePal's augmented reality heads up display, it's easier than ever to stay connected, track performance and play games. This augmented reality technology has never been so versatile and affordable. We hope you love it, too!]) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHZ1noWxLdc (GogglePal, the world's first AR HUD for any goggle. Now available on Kickstarter! Published April 28, 2015)>
