“The Solos Team has worked directly with professional cyclists
to ascertain the critical feedback for smart eyewear that would
optimize their performance in a minimalist, functional and
fashionable design,” commented Dr. Ernesto Martinez, Project Leader
of Solos. “The key insights included, keeping it lightweight,
streamlined, intuitive to operate and minimize eyes off the road.
These design pillars are evident throughout Solos, giving riders
exactly what they need and nothing that they don’t.”
Solos employs a display which measures only 4mm in height, as
small as the size of a human pupil, yet casts a large 5-inch
virtual screen with bright, high-resolution full color graphics.
Solos provides a wide range of adjustability, allowing cyclists to
modify the position of the display based on their unique riding
posture like training for a triathlon, hitting a century ride, or
blazing through mountain trails. The translucent virtual screen
provides a vibrant and bright, sunlight readable image that cuts
glare to maximize visual clarity and provide a safe experience for
any journey whether it’s a dimly lit morning ride, bright daylight
ride or setting stride into the evening sunset.
Aerodynamically Designed for Maximum Speed and
Comfort
From the form factor to material selection, every design
decision behind Solos was meticulously analyzed and tested in wind
tunnels to ensure minimal drag and optimal comfort. Ergonomically
designed, Solos comfortably rests on any cyclists face, blends
seamlessly with the helmet and features anti-slip temple and nose
pads for ultimate grip during high-intensity training. The
lightweight and flexible frames are crafted with the industry’s
most durable high-end polycarbonate to protect from impact, wind,
dust and shocks.
Bio-Inspired Technology
Solos embraces a “Bio-Inspired” design philosophy which
signifies that every element of the product is engineered to
seamlessly integrate with your body. With an in–depth understanding
of human physiology, Solos displays an easily adjustable viewing
position that minimizes strain on the eye from long-term rides.
Solos also includes advanced voice extraction technology that
allows voice commands to control the display settings without
lifting a finger. The integrated near-ear stereo speaker system
with ambient monitoring provides dynamic volume control to deliver
performance cues that can be clearly heard above the noise of the
road and wind.
A Powerful Ecosystem
Kopin’s Solos provides a holistic platform of sensory
information, and delivers enhanced performance metrics such as
heart rate, speed, power, pace, cadence, distance, duration, and
other Bluetooth and ANT+ compatible data. Solos pairs with your
smartphone to access caller ID, notifications and social media. The
Solos app captures, streams and syncs data, allowing cyclists to
fine-tune their workouts and closely track target performance
levels in real-time. It also supports existing training programs
and new tool development allowing users to optimize their training
experience.
Solos will be displayed for the first time at Interbike 2015 at
booth #14029. Please contact PR representatives Mara Castro or
