BMW Motorrad unveiled the motorcycle goggles 'ConnectedRide Smart Glasses' for the first time at the 'BMW Motorrad Days' held in Berlin, Germany.
The newly revealed smart glasses display various real-time information necessary during riding, such as navigation and vehicle speed, similar to a car's head-up display technology, helping ensure safe riding. Since various information appears on the goggles, motorcycle riders can receive route guidance while riding just like when driving a car.
The smart glasses can connect to a smartphone via a Bluetooth app. They also feature protection for eyesight against ultraviolet rays and provide separate lenses that can adjust vision up to approximately 4 diopters for those who normally wear glasses.
Additionally, BMW Motorrad stated that the smart glasses offer comfortable wear optimized for long-distance riding, as they can be adjusted to fit the rider's facial shape and helmet.
They charge via USB and have a maximum operating time of 10 hours. The product price is known to be 690 euros (approximately 980,000 KRW), and it is scheduled to be sold in Korea early next year.
