Munich. What was still considered science fiction a
few years ago is now becoming reality with the BMW Motorrad
ConnectedRide Smartglasses. The innovative motorcycle goggles provide
the head-up display technology already familiar from the automotive
sector and project all relevant data, such as navigation, speed or
gear, directly into the rider’s field of vision in real time, thus
enabling particularly anticipatory and thus safer motorcycle riding.
The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses can be easily
connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth and app. The projection can
be positioned and the settings can be selected before the ride and
also while riding via the multicontroller on the motorcycle handlebars.
In addition to the individual user interface and an increase in
riding safety, the smartglasses also offer a high level of comfort.
The design of the smartglasses and the display has been adapted to
meet the special needs of motorcyclists. In addition, the BMW Motorrad
ConnectedRide Smartglasses can be adapted to fit numerous helmets and
face shapes. This makes the smartglasses comfortable to wear even on
long day trips. The lithium-ion battery enables up to ten hours of operation.
BMW Motorrad also supplies two sets of certified UVA/UVB lenses
with the frame. One set of lenses is 85% transparent and can be used
especially for helmets with integrated sun visors. The other set has
tinted lenses turning the smartglasses into a perfect pair of sunglasses.
For people who wear glasses, there is an RX adapter (+/- 4.5
diopters). This can be ordered online directly from the provider. The
corresponding QR code can be found in the user manual of the
ConnectedRide Smartglasses.
The BMW Motorrad ConnectedRide Smartglasses will be presented on
7 July 2023 as part of the BMW Motorrad Days in Berlin.
