Eyewear is intelligent
At the CES in Las Vegas, the largest tradeshow of innovations, Luxottica and Intel presented a world preview of the result of their collaboration, announced back in 2014: «radar pace», the prototype of intelligent glasses sporting the Oakley brand, equipped with coaching in real time with vocal activation. It doesn’t actually exist as real eyeglasses yet, but undoubtedly represents a first step towards the future. Equipped with an integrated chip and earpiece, it was conceived to provide runners, cyclists, and sports enthusiasts immediate feedback and analysis in order to monitor their progress and improve performance in real time. The technology is provided by Intel, while the design is credited to Luxottica, which at this time has not yet made an official comment.
