4iiii Innovations Offers Heads-up Display System for Athletes
Product: Sportiiiis (pronounced Sport Eyes)
Top Line: Sportiiiis is a heads-up display that attaches to virtually any pair of sunglasses. The compact unit displays critical performance data through seven multi-colored LEDs on a small boom that is positioned just outside your primary visual plane, allowing you to be safe and focused on the road while monitoring data. Sportiiiis also provides audible data cues for precise feedback when needed.
Close Up: Using the Mac, PC or Smartphone software, the LEDs can be programmed to visually respond to data from ANT+ devices. For example, when paired with a heart rate strap, you can create a custom setup for how the LEDs will respond to your heart rate (or load a preset workout based on your personal data). This workout program is then downloaded to the Sportiiiis unit. During your workout when your heart rate has reached your target zone (145-155 BPM in this example) the center LED will slowly blink green. If your heart rate drops below your target (120-145 BPM) the Yellow LED to the left will begin to blink, indicating you have dropped out of your target zone. If your heart rate climbs above your target (155-165 BPM) the Yellow LED to the right will begin to blink indicating you are over your target. If your heart rate continues to climb the Orange and Red LEDs to the right will let you know exactly what's going on. In addition, with Sportiiiis' Tip-Tap technology, a tap on the side of the unit will will generate an audible cue of your exact heart rate. And a double-tap will switch between paired sensors. Similar display profiles are possible for power, cadence and speed.
Vital Stats: Accessories include combo speed/cadence sensor for bike; heart rate sensor; footpod sensor. Sold through 4iiii web site and through authorized retailers. Retail prices start at $199.
