Yessir, that's a neat pair of goggles. Some dual sport riders should be getting excited about these.

Re: For all you techy touring gadget lovers
Still undecided if this makes riding safer or much more dangerous.
A. At least you won't have to glance down at instruments for basic things like speed, or an odo reading.
but
B. Do you really need the distraction of that much available info?

Re: For all you techy touring gadget lovers
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: While having more info there can be distracting, you're responsible for managing your own distractions.

Re: For all you techy touring gadget lovers
I think this could be a good idea, if done right and it is accurate.
I drive a Vette with the heads-up display on the windshield right in front of your view. It's easy to ignore when you want to pay attention to the world outside and still lets you see what you want when you want to see it.... speed, RPM, etc. The only problem that can arise is if I pay too much attention to the 'G' meter it shows, it is easy to get carried away trying to peg that thing...... but I know I can generate .87 G's changing lanes at 70 MPH.

Re: For all you techy touring gadget lovers
I'd love an overlay of navigation data on the actual streets that you're riding through (like arrows above the intersection where you're supposed to turn left in 100 meters, etc.)

Re: For all you techy touring gadget lovers
NICE..I'd love a pair of those, but probably not in my budget.....
