Flying with HUD ski goggles

Not even Bono can pull off wearing huge glasses to use a HUD
through life. But ski goggles? They're practically designed to look ludicrous.
These Zeal Recon Transcend Ski Goggles display GPS, speed, altitude and more in
real time.
Available this fall for between $350 and $450, Transcend goggles are a
partnership between two companies: Zeal Optics and Recon Instruments. The result
is a pair of goggles that contain hardware to measure speed, altitude, time,
temperature and GPS coordinates - a slew of information that's displayed through a
HUD. Charging and data transfer occurs over USB.
Buttons on the side of the goggles will allow you to scan through information on
the ski lift, which will be especially useful as Transcend gains additional
promised functions, including trail maps, cell phone display integration and
video recording.
