Goggles Give You Your Skiing Stats

Designed for skiers, snowmobilers, and snowboarders who actually want to know where they�re going, the new Transcend goggles from Recon Instruments and Zeal Optics look like they could be really cool if you plan on hitting the slopes this winter.

These Transcend Goggles come from Recon Instruments and Zeal Optics. They come with GPS and a display on the inside of the goggles. That display will tell you things like your coordinates, outdoor conditions, speed, altitude, total distance, the temperature and number of runs. You can even use it as a stopwatch and a clock. It�ll even keep track of your progress. To get all of that fancy technology placed right in front of your eyes you�ll have to pay up $399. That is unless you�d like the fancy set with photochromic (automatic transitioning) lenses, then it�s $499.

The gadget works its magic through a micro-computer which processes data from an accelerometer, gyroscope, temperature sensor and pressure sensor, providing instantaneous feedback on the HMD. Controls are accessed through three large �glove-friendly� buttons on the side of the goggles, and everything is built into the goggles themselves, including a rechargeable battery with up to 8 hours of run time.
