Recon Jet: Worlds Most Advanced Wearable Computer

Recon Jet: Worlds Most Advanced Wearable Computer
Posted on July 19, 2013



Recon Jet is a new wearable computer being introduced by Recon Industries. Several companies are pushing this new wave of wearable technology including , Google Glass and a design by Takahito Iguchi called Telepathy One.

Recon jet is doing a limited presage event this week. Don't wait, you only have one more day to get "The Worlds Most Advanced Wearble Computer" at a discount. The Recon Jet is set to start shipping in December. Personally, I like the design of the Recon Jet much better than Google Glass. I looks much more balanced and robust. I would feel safe wearing the Recon Jet while hiking or running. I can't say the same for Google Glass.

According to the Recon Instruments website:

"Recon Jet is a heads-up display for sports that unobtrusively delivers relevant information at a quick glance. The Jet features a powerful microcomputer and a full-color widescreen display designed for active outdoor use, mounted on high-performance polarized sports eyewear.

Recon Jet is a flexible computing platform, with all the processing power of a modern smartphone. Its powerful suite of built-in sensors includes GPS, a HD video camera, a microphone, and speakers, and its full-color, widescreen display can be configured for different applications.

The Pilot Edition comes loaded with software catering to endurance athletes: cyclists, triathletes, and runners. They will be able to see their performance metrics (such as Speed/Pace, Distance, Duration, Ascent/Descent, Heart rate*, Power*, Cadence*), and by connecting their smartphone, see caller ID and SMS alerts on the fly.
With the addition of 3rd party apps, it will be easy to extend the range of sports and activities Jet can be used for."
