Augmented reality is not a new concept, with the advent of Google Glass, more and more entrepreneurs began to apply augmented reality technology to the product. The AR-head display, "Put on Google Glass and Kinect" on the car, Navdy $6.5 million trillion in funding, Jaguar Land Rover unveiled the virtual windshield technology, and the Continental group began to integrate its flagship display (HUD) and augmented Reality (AR) technology into its products. The action of using AR to transform the car has been vigorous. What can ar do besides cars? The idea of AR device is to launch a real-time dashboard Gogglepal (Chinese name for ski-eye) in front of ski enthusiasts, recording and sharing the peak experience.

Today in the 36 Krypton Open Day, the Silicon Valley station roadshow Gogglepal is the world's first reality-enhancing universal fitness ski product. Its universal stent patented technology makes it easy to wear on a variety of ski glasses, real-time in front of the user present important data, so that skiers no longer fly in the dark. Suitable for mobile phone original snow scene map collection, to achieve easy positioning and friend search, record and analyze the movement of data, provide guidance, improve the overall performance; China Unicom, a global skier, races through social platforms and shares ski data.

Members of the Gogglepal team have been working on the project since July 2012, when they chatted with them this July to complete prototypes of the product, and are now working on prototypes for testing and evaluation, which is expected to take about 1.5 months.

In fact, for ski enthusiasts to launch smart devices, AR Devices is not the first. Recon Instrument, a Canadian company that has been invested by Intel, has also launched a ski mirror Snow2, but it costs up to $400-800 and is sold with goggles, with the main users still at the high-end. Gogglepal has a competitive advantage compared to it.

Gogglepal is a versatile lens that matches any ski glasses and is adsorbed on the original ski mirror so that users do not need to buy extra expensive ski goggles. Plus the first version of the price will be around 250 dollars, for ski enthusiasts, still very attractive.

As a sport that reaches hundreds of kilometres per hour, safety issues must be considered first. Gogglepal told 36 Krypton that they were mainly doing two jobs: one is the use of dual-reflective lens group technology, with digital information in the light after two times to reach the prototype area, the image projected in the right eye and the lower corner of the position, the user will see the equivalent of 15cm in front of the position of information, The area of the occlusion line reaches the minimum; one is through the ultra strong magnet technology, the user can put the Gogglepal simple installs in each kind of different ski mirror, at the same time 360 degrees steering axle technology also provides the flexible space for the universal support technology, the user may according to the ski mirror and the face shape, the eye spacing, the free adjustment installment position as well To achieve the best visual effects.

Last time chatting with Gogglepal's Shaopeng, they said they wanted to accelerate the second generation of Gogglepal on the basis of the first generation of product development: 1) will adopt low-cost fully transparent imaging technology, so that the reality of enhanced technology to get a better experience, real vision without dead end design; 2 The device will use large screen, support color screen effect, 3 support camera function, realize Gogglepal and GoPro fit.

After this period of time for the AR industry thinking, they also have a new idea. For now, AR and VR are like two different technologies, but in the future these two technologies are likely to be fused together and the virtual world can be enhanced. And the design of the universal bracket can help gogglepal do more things, with the possibility of transplanting to other products (such as bicycles, automobiles, motorcycles).
