Recon Instruments Launches Wearable Flight HUD

Vital Flight Information Transmitted Direct-To-Eye, In Real-Time, To Wingsuit Pilots, BASE Jumpers And Skydivers

An innovative HUD designed specifically for precision human flight has been unveiled by Recon Instruments, which designed the HUD technology for sports such as skydiving, wingsuit flying, and BASE jumping.

Via a suite of onboard sensors, the HUD, which was originally designed for snow sports, has been customized to display glide ratio, speed and altitude via a micro LCD screen sitting unobtrusively inside the pilot's goggles.

"We are inundated with requests from athletes and participants from a wide variety of sports to create bespoke HUDs for their specific use," said Tom Fowler, Chief Marketing Officer of Recon Instruments. "Flight HUD is Recon's first special project whereby a certain number of pre-orders will unlock a special production. We are really excited to be able to offer human flight athletes the same information traditional pilots have been using for decades and know this breakthrough will re-define their flying experience."

The HUD is available in "limited release." To guarantee production, Recon Instruments has set a requirement of 250 pre-orders, available on Recon's special projects website. The website has been launched especially for such efforts, allowing Recon to respond to demand for special-case HUDs from different sports communities.
