Katie Williams’ Smart Swimming Goggles
CNN reports on a Welsh designer that’s coming up with another useful advancement in technology in sportswear. The “Smart Goggles” designer Katie William’s has come up with a small heads up display in the goggle lens to keep track of laps and time the swimmer. I’m hoping this gets adapted quickly into sunglasses for running, biking, and other sports. Then we can get all, you know, Predator on you.

I don’t think they’d work as the swimmer would be concentrating on the time and everything instead of what they’re doing.

well done katie, good job with the goggles. Only concern is, how well would the eye adjust to focus in such a near screen or projection? other than that good job(I went to university with her)

Legend, why is everyone giing negative points, surely even if there are small technical problems like focusing on the screen, changes could be made, this is just the first step and one hell of a good idea!! Well done Willz from the Kipster!!

Give serious consideration to developing this! A definate application is for competitive sailors who use count down watches in the run down to the start of a race. These are usually mounted in a place that’s not in natural view or on wrist which is awkward to read when both hands are being used. Having the countdown in a HUD built in to their Oakley’s would be massive benefit. email me to discuss further.
