HAIFA, Israel (BRAIN) — Everysight says it will begin shipping its long awaited Raptor AR smartglasses in February in the U.S. The company will begin taking pre-orders from U.S. consumers next month, with pricing starting at $499 for pre-orders. Regular pricing will start at $649.
The Raptor AR features a heads-up display that projects ride information onto the back of the lens. It can connect to devices including heart rate monitors and power meters and can show speed, distance, maps and other information, as well as capturing photos and videos. The functions can be controlled by voice commands, a touch pad on the arms, a handlebar-mounted remote and a smartphone app.
Besides the glasses, Everysight will offer accessories such as a handlebar control system, RX frames, and tinted lenses.
"Our legacy in AR Systems goes way back as being spun of out of Elbit Systems, the worldwide defense company leader in helmet mounted systems for fighter jet and rotary wing pilots. We have been working on consumer-specific AR technology for more than 15 years and long before Google, Apple, and Facebook, we saw and invested in AR's transformative potential to alter the way we receive and ingest real-time data and information from the world around us. Today, we are excited to bring Raptor to market and cannot wait to show off our upcoming product line-up for 2018 and beyond," said Asaf Ashkenazi, Everysight's CEO.
