SNOWBOARD GOGGLE HUD screens crucial data WHILE falling DOWN A mountain

[Chris] has been difficult at work building a heads Up screen into some Snowboarding goggles. We’re utilized to seeing the elements that went into the project, however the application is unexpected. His own cautioning that the screen is as well close to your deal with as well as might cause injury if you were to autumn highlights the impractical nature of the build. however hey, you’ve got to begin somewhere when it concerns prototyping. perhaps the next iteration will be something risk-free to use.

A set of MyVu glasses were added to the top part of the goggles, which lets the wearer view the LCD output by looking somewhat up. The screen is fed by a Raspberry Pi board which links to a GPS module, all of which is powered by a USB backup battery. In the video after the break you can see that the screen shows time of day, speed, altitude, as well as temperature (although he hasn’t got a temperature sensor hooked up just yet). His expense of materials puts the job expense at about £160 which is just less that $250.
