During its keynote address at CES 2016 tonight, Intel showed off a pair of sunglasses made by Oakley that come with a built-in running and exercise coach that talks to you as you work out via a set of attached headphones. Radar, as the system is called, also responds to voice commands, so you can ask it how far you’ve gone, how far you need to go, your current pace, and other data.
Intel and Oakley made sunglasses that talk to you
The sunglasses appear to be a modified version of Oakley’s Thump, which come with a built in MP3 player and earbuds that are attached to the sunglasses’ frame. They have Intel’s Curie module embedded in them, which enables the motion and fitness tracking.
Intel says the glasses will launch in late 2016. Until then, you can just continue to talk to yourself during your runs.
