Content Body

The dream of eyeglasses-based flight instrumentation refuses to die, and video eyewear/smart glasses manufacturer Vuzix has partnered with HeadApp to develop the Glass4Flight application. Glass4Flight connects to the WiFly data-collection system to deliver flight data to the Android-powered Vuzix M100 smart glasses. The Glass4Flight application was developed by Eco-Mind and DigiSky and provides heading, speed, altitude, time, route, traffic and other information in a hands-free environment. Flight-testing was done by a flying club in Turin, Italy, using 15 airplanes equipped with WiFly and pilots wearing the M100 glasses with Glass4Flight. According to Vuzix, the Glass4Flight app will be available starting April 15 at the Aero Friedrichshafen show.
