The Sportiiiis Heads Up Display boom from 4iiii Inovations attaches to almost any glasses and gives you a visual and audio feedback on critical performance criteria. You use PC, Mac, or smartphone software to program the Sportiiiis to respond to data from your current ANT+ training devices. With a tap of the Sportiiiis attachment point, multi-colored LEDs will light up to show when you are at, below, above, or dangerously above your setpoint. You can even hear an audible cue of your exact heart rate, for example. In addition to heart rate, you can monitor power, cadence, and speed with the proper ANT+ sensors (not included). The Sportiiiis Heads Up Display boom is $199.99; a boom plus heart rate monitor is $249.99. A heart rate strap, a foot pad sensor, and a bicycle speed/cadence sensor are available separately for $59.99 to $69.99.

Wow…$200 for color LEDs? Really?
I stopped the video at the blinking LEDs. It doesn’t matter how amazing the software and sensors work if the output device is a bunch of blinking LEDs… Calling it a heads-up display is a bit misleading. If you wan’t to see something really cool that has an actual HUD check this out: http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/13/zeal-optics-bringing-gps-sensor-laden-transcend-ski-goggles-to/
While I’m training, all I want is the simplicity of a color to tell me if if I’m in my target zone. This has shaved minutes off my tri time in the past few months I have been running and cycling with it! (Gadgets are cool but I dont want to analyze numbers while I’m training).
