Oakley and Intel bring AI to eyewear
Sunday, October 16, 2016 at 6:23PM While bringing in mixed reality to glasses seems like a logical choice, that isn’t the approach Oakley and Intel are relying on voice control, audio, and artificial intelligence. The new Radar Pace glasses makes use of AI to serve as a virtual coach and an app to collect and show real-time data, feedback, instruction, and motivation. The glasses make use of things like integrated gyroscope, accelerometer, and barometer/pressure sensor monitors to provide the feedback.
The Radar Pace can put together complete workout plans, allowing you to set your goals for endurance, speed, and strength. It’ll adjust based on how you’re doing or whether you’ve missed a workout or haven’t pushed as hard. As expected, the glasses will let you listen to music on your phone, interact with Siri or Google Now, and answer calls. But you aren’t required to engage with the paired app during workouts, since it is used more to show performance and provide feedback taken from data recorded from the Radar Pace and other paired sensors. The Radar Pace retails for US$450 (around CA$600).
