First Look: Syride HUD glasses (Ergo Active Look)

- čas přidán 6. 04. 2023
- Syride have teamed up with French electronics company Active Look to offer a Head-Up display option for the Sys’Nav XL flight instrument.
The instrument can be paired with compatible Active Look sunglasses via the Syride app, and the HUD used as a second screen to complement data displayed on the instrument. We tried out the Engo glasses that Syride are distributors for for the free-flight market

Congratulation to the developers. It's beginning of a new era.
The ActiveLook BLE interface is well documented, and I was able to add support for those glasses in my own Garmin watch vario app without trouble. I hope others take advantage of it (Skydrop, etc.)
37 years ago I fixed my vario LCD display on a ali HG batten fixed to my helmet. I got my vario display in front of my face while flying. I loved it. So finally something to beat that. ;)
Works also on the AIR3 with XC Track by the way with these glasses but in colour!
Yep, works like charm.....love it.
Looks great. I'm looking forward for it to be integrated into contact lenses, with augmented reality for Airspaces and visible thermals ;-)
That would be cool!
Wild! 😮
Can you tell me how it behaviours in case of oversight/hyperopia? Are numbers still visible and sharp? I have a slight one - like +1
Not sure what exactly the orange hardware does and if it’s serving a function not possible on the phone. The glasses can connect directly to the phone and the phone can have app to track speed and altitude etc…..
Can you wear them over prescription glasses?
Cool!!!!
Very nice. Can they work purely from a phone app? In other words without the Syride instrument?
Yes, XCTrack has an interface to ActiveLook. I also added an interface to my own Garmin watch vario app.
A bit of topic but could you also use them for skiing? Do the datefields show you the speed and everything?
As I understand it yes there are apps for skiing that will give you relevant data to the glasses
Fantastik
Have you done your review yet? If so can you post the link please. :)
The review is in issue 241 of Cross Country Magazine
One day the thermals will turn visible.
But what's it like to fly with them!?
Actually useful. I have altitude, groundspeed, vertical speed, glide ratio, and heading as an HUD and it's very convenient not having to look down at a vario
Only interested when they come with augmented reality for airspace.
Then you can take my money😊
And the lift hotspots you get with the Oudie/SeeYou etc. 👀
Or showing thermals like paragliding simulator game.
Or showing you the glide angle like on an airplane HUD. (super cool first tho)
@@WBtimhawk and even with all that technology, the pilot with no vario will still outclimb you and out glide you
@@SkyBums a plastic bag will out climb any pilot. Tho hopefully not out glide !
Why it is not cost $1000? It will be more luxury......
I have no idea what are you trying to said..🤷🏻♂️
That seems a bit complicated
Sunglasses though. What about night time use?
