Oakley and Intel’s Radar Pace offers a fresh take on tech eyewear

Oakley Radar Pace: Tracks. Coaches. Responds
Oakley and Intel have produced a new kind of smart sports gear, trading augmented or mixed reality for voice control and virtual coaching by way of audio.

Released last week, the Radar Pace, using smart technology and an app, “collects and analyzes personal performance data and delivers real-time feedback, instruction, and motivation based on performance,” Oakley’s product site reads. For a total price tag of $450, the glasses will also respond to user questions, allowing athletes to communicate with the system in a live, natural way during workouts.

Utilizing sensors that include an integrated gyroscope, accelerometer, and barometer/pressure sensor monitors, users will be able to accurately gain feedback on their workout performance, letting them adjust in real-time or improve for their next workout.

Radar Pace puts together complete workout plans, letting users set goals for endurance, strength, and speed, and will change based on how you’re faring. The built-in AI will even account for missed workouts, holding users accountable by adjusting for the days you just can’t get yourself out of bed and into your exercise gear.

While the glasses don’t require external sensors, ANT+ or Bluetooth Low Energy-enabled sensors “can enhance the coaching experience by providing heart rate, cycling power, cycling cadence, and other metrics.”

The AI coach provides instant feedback while it records data. The hands-free nature of the voice assistant provides an immediate benefit for athletes, allowing for a seamless integration with workout routines without any interruption.

Other integrations allow users, via the glasses  to listen to music from their phones, answer calls, and even interact with Siri or Google Now. While engagement with the paired mobile app is not required during workouts, the app provides an in-depth summary of the workout, including feedback and exercise performance recorded by the Radar Pace and other paired sensors.

Why you need to buy this fantastic cordless lawn mower today
Greenworks 16-inch 40V cordless lawn mower

If you're shopping for cheap lawn mower deals for a small to medium-sized lawn, you can't do better than this Greenworks 16-inch cordless lawn mower. Amazon dropped a hot deal on this battery-operated machine, discounting the 40V Greenworks mower by 20%. Instead of the normal $299, save $61 with this sale to start mowing without gasoline or awkward extension cords for just $238. Don't delay with this limited time sale.

Greenworks manufactures a range of  cordless and corded electric lawn mowers, but the 16-inch 40-volt cordless model hits the sweet spots for function, convenience, and cost. Here's why. Greenworks has cordless mowers with cutting decks ranging from 13 inches to 21 inches in diameter. A machine with a smaller deck is lighter and less work to push around your yard than one with a wider deck, but the more narrow the cutting deck, of course, the more back-and-forth you'll need to do to finish mowing your lawn. At 37.5 pounds, the Greenworks 40V is no big deal to push and uses your time and energy more efficiently than either the smaller or larger models.
