The Engo-1 eyewear makes eyes-up athletic practice a reality!
Powered by Activelook technology, AR smart sunglasses can provide the wearer with a head-up display showing their performance data in real time as they train or compete. They weigh as little as 42g thanks to new technology developed by ActiveLook and offer a battery life of 12 hours. Cyclists, runners or triathletes no longer have to lift their wrist and check their watch, read their wearable or look at their smartphone. The ultra-light Engo-1 eyewear is the number one asset for staying safer, and feeling in control.
Engo has worked with top cyclists, runners and triathletes to develop a high-performance product that is comfortable to wear and looks great. Its miniaturized head-up display technology by ActiveLook makes it possible to display essential sports performance data with zero obstruction to the user’s field of vision.
Onboard ActiveLook technology allows the user to get a real-time display of personalized key data in their field of vision, with no need to look at their smartphone, watch or computer. This includes metrics such as distance covered, heart rate, watts generated and elapsed/total time, allowing athletes to track their performance and progress faster.
So whether the wearer is riding in the main pack, training as a group or attacking challenging gradients and tight turns, the data they need are projected discreetly into their field of vision, saving them time and letting them focus on what’s ahead.
Eric Marcellin-Dibon is the founder of ActiveLook: ”Why should head-up display be used only in cars or flight jets? With our technology, head-up display enters a new era: athletic performance and safety. It’s the practical demonstration that this technology has arrived at maturity. Without introducing distortion or distraction, eyewear can now deliver new, integrated services that make sport safer and more fun.”
Engo-1 eyewear is about as connected as it gets! Bluetooth connects the glasses to the ActiveLook App on the user’s smartphone, and to multiple sensors aggregating the performance data. On the app, the user can personalize the display, get access to complete stats over time and even export them. The Activelook app is available on smartphones, Garmin watches and bike computers.
Engo-1 has been designed for maximum comfort with a system of comfortable, thin temples that are fully adjustable horizontally and vertically to mold to the shape of your face. With wide lenses for optimal vision and an adjustable nose bridge to ensure a comfortable fit, Engo stands by its ‘100% Fit’ guarantee. Their light weight makes them incredibly comfortable and highly impact resistant. Moreover, Engo’s photochromic lenses automatically adjust to changing light, providing clarity and 100% UV protection in all conditions.
