Smart Glasses for Cycling & Sports
Around 2,000 cyclists die on European roads every year, and head-down phone checks are a growing cause. HUD glasses keep speed, power, navigation and calls in the rider's line of sight — hands on the bars, eyes on the road.
● Pain Point Map SPEC. NO. EMS-CYC-P5
Every Rider Complaint, Mapped to a Reference Solution
| Rider pain point | The data behind it | Our reference solution |
|---|---|---|
| Head-down phone checks | Distracted cycling on the rise; ~2,000 deaths in Europe (2024) | HUD speed, power, navigation in line of sight |
| Wind noise on calls | Road-speed wind overwhelms mic pickup | 4-mic AI ENC with wind-noise suppression |
| Missing ride evidence | Incidents are word-versus-word without footage | 8/12MP first-person capture with privacy LED |
| Low-light visibility | Dawn and dusk rides in shifting light | Photochromic and polarized lens options |
| Battery anxiety on long rides | Century rides exceed single-charge range | 9h battery + charging-case top-ups |
| Safety-standard compliance | Retailers require certified eyewear | EN166 / ANSI Z87.1 lens options |
● HUD Solution SPEC. NO. EMS-CYC-HUD
Ride Data Without Dropping Your Head
The HUD layer shows speed, power, cadence and turn-by-turn navigation in the upper field of view, driven by ANT+/Bluetooth sensor data from the bike. Brightness adapts to sunlight so the overlay stays readable at noon and unobtrusive at dusk.
Turn prompts arrive with audio chimes through open-ear drivers, so riders never need to glance down. Controls live on the temple — a swipe answers a call, a long-press starts recording.
Brands can ship the HUD with their own color language, data fields and companion-app screens via our SDK.

OEM demand
Sports brands are white-labeling HUD reference designs rather than building optics teams from zero.
Retail appetite
Bike shops want certified, demo-able eyewear — EN166/ANSI options close the safety objection.
Launch speed
Our 14-day prototyping keeps a brand's season window from slipping.
● Race Notes SPEC. NO. EMS-CYC-DEP
Built From Real Descents
Every HUD field is validated on the road, not just on the bench: speed and power readouts are tested against head units over mixed terrain, and turn prompts are tuned so riders react without dropping their line. Wind-noise suppression is measured at 30, 40 and 50 km/h against a calibrated source.
Crash-relevant evidence capture runs at 1080p with a privacy LED that regional teams can enable or disable per local regulation — a flexibility point our European brand projects rely on.
Brands entering the category typically start with a 100-unit pilot in one market, then expand by SKU — lens options, camera tiers and HUD layouts all ride the same chassis.
Retailers consistently ask two questions first: is the eyewear certified, and how long does the battery last on a century ride — both answers are in the spec table above.
