Data on Swimmers' Racial Differences Collected by Goggles
Swimming with a Tech Upgrade: Form Swim Goggles and Vuzix Labs Smart Swim
Step up your swimming game with the latest tech goggles, such as the Form Swim Goggles and Vuzix Labs Smart Swim glasses. These smart goggles bring a new level of performance analysis, all displayed in an AR (Augmented Reality) format. Here's a lowdown on what these innovative swimming accessories offer.
Real-Time Stats, at a Glance
For competitive swimmers, statistics are crucial. Every second and every meter swum matters. The obsessive focus on their rhythm and performance data keeps their minds sharp during training. Let's delve into the "Form Swim Goggles," a pair of swim goggles equipped with an integrated AR screen.
These goggles intelligently detect the swim style, speed, and split times, while the transparent AR screen shows the swimmer their chosenmetrics in real time. Existing fitness watches might measure similar data, but the convenience of receiving the information without having to wait for the end of a lap or stopping mid-swim cannot be overstated.
Product Highlights
- AR display readable in either eye
- Customizable display, displaying stats during swimming, turning, and resting
- Waterproof up to 32 feet (975.36 cm)
- Syncs with both Android and iPhone apps
While these goggles offer a groundbreaking solution, there are some potential drawbacks. The display could potentially distract or block peripheral vision on one side of the swimmer, and the statistics cannot be edited within the application. The system is available for purchase from $199.

While precise details about pricing, display capabilities, and compatibility with smartphone applications are still forthcoming, it's clear that these innovations are set to reshape the swimming landscape by offering advanced performance analysis and communication tools for athletes. For specific details, consult the manufacturers' official websites or recent reviews.
