GPS goggles you can read your texts on

They're not quite James Bond calibre yet – there are no lasers – but a B.C. company is about to unleash a high-tech set of alpine goggles that include a miniaturized real-time display.

The goggles by Recon Instruments allow wearers to pinpoint their location, get a speed reading, check their text messages and much more.

Complete with a GPS-enabled gyroscope, altimeter, stopwatch and temperature and pressure sensors, the goggles are the first of their kind and are directed at the amateur athlete market, according to Dan Eisenhardt, the chief executive of the Vancouverbased company.

But they also are attracting a lot of attention from elite athletes and sports trainers, who believe the instruments could give professionals a new technological edge.

"These are meant for the average person who wants to have a new experience with wearable technology," Eisenhardt said Thursday. "But we're very quickly building a lot of interest from sports teams."

On Thursday, Eisenhardt gave a business perspective for performance enhancement at W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics and the National Core for Neuroethics at UBC. The group organized a public discussion called Back or Ban Boosters for the Body and Brain.

Recon worked with Colorado-based Zeal Optics, an eyewear manufacturer, to incorporate a technological pod into goggles that would display an optical readout of information.

The concept of using GPS in combination with metric-based computers, such as heart-rate monitors, is not new. The sports instrument market has developed in recent years with tools like the Garmin Forerunner, which records runners' metrics and plots them on a GPS map that includes altitude, pace and the like.

But Eisenhardt said Recon's goggles – which hit the market this fall for the 2010-11 ski season – are the first to incorporate a visual display of real-time information. Using an optical recognition screen that tricks the eye into seeing the image virtually at arm's length, the device can give the wearer a host of details depending on what technology is incorporated.

It can give speed, jump height, airtime, distance, altimeter and a map showing the location of the wearer. It also uses Bluetooth technology to integrate with your cellphone, showing you text messages.

And if you get into trouble, it can be tracked by search and rescue crews. The goggles cost between $350 and $450, depending on the type of glass.

Eisenhardt said he's also getting inquiries from governments interested in military applications. The only heads-up display systems used by soldiers are bulky tethered eyepieces that don't include real-time information the Recon instrument can offer, he said.
