BMW Motorrad unveiled the ConnectedRide Smartglasses on July 7, 2023, and it features head-up display (HUD) technology for motorcyclists. These glasses project real-time data like navigation and speed onto the rider's field of vision in a bid to enhance rider safety and awareness.
The brand wrote in its press release: “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.”
