BMW: Head-up display for bikers 🎥
PRACTICAL From August, BMW will have Connected Ride smartglasses in its range. The motorcycle glasses, which are worn under the helmet, serve as a head-up display. Important data is projected directly into the field of vision of the right lens.
The system works like this: A small projector sits at the top of the left edge of the frame and transmits navigation data, speed or the gear engaged. The smartglasses can be paired with the smartphone via Bluetooth and app. The positioning of the projection and the selection of settings can also be made while riding via the multicontroller on the handlebars.
Different nose pads
BMW Motorrad also supplies two sets of certified UVA/UVB lenses with the frame. One set of lenses is 85 percent transparent and can be used for helmets with integrated sun visors. The other has tinted lenses and can therefore be used directly as sunglasses. In addition, two standard sizes with different nose pads are available.
An RX adapter (+/- 4.5 diopters) is available for eyeglass wearers. This can be ordered directly online. The corresponding QR code can be found in the user manual of the Connected Ride smartglasses. The head-up display glasses will cost 690 Swiss francs and will be available from August.
