Top Line: Luxottica and Intel have developed a smart eyewear called Radar Pace, which features a real-time voice activated coaching system. Radar Pace creates dynamic and personalized training programs, tracks performance, coaches in real-time and responds naturally to questions asked by the user. It interprets data in real-time, provides personalized and actionable instruction and motivation during the course of a workout and holds athletes accountable to a structured and dynamic training program. The eyewear is being introduced through Luxottica’s Oakley division.
Close Up: With a hands-free conversational interface powered by Intel Real Speech, Radar Pace helps athletes stay focused and maintain optimal training position, and the Bluetooth audio headset allows athletes to place and receive calls and texts and listen to music. Radar Pace also features Oakley Prizm, a new lens technology that dramatically enhances detail to help improve performance by providing ultra-precise color tuning, designed for specific environments. The Prizm Road lens that comes with Radar Pace brightens whites and enhances yellows, greens and reds so runners and cyclists can see subtle changes in road texture and spot hazards more easily for a confident training experience.
Radar Pace is made of two primary components: Oakley eyewear with integrated earbuds and microphone, and a mobile app for iOS and Android. The Radar Pace app is available for free download from the Apple App Store or on Google Play.
Vital Stats: Radar Pace will be distributed in North America, Australia and Europe. It is available on Oakley.com and select Oakley stores and in select wholesale and Sunglass Hut locations.
