Just got a message from FlySight guys about ActiveLook connectivity. They are aware of the glasses platform and have already done some of the development to connect both devices. It looks like we can get a working solution in a few months.

@the.Legend can you give more information about your project? It looks like you are designing new hardware for the project, but I didn't get, why you decided to do that? It seems possible to use just phone or garmin watch to get desired functionality. Also it would be interesting to check if Flysight 2 is capable to work with ActiveLook. Flysight 2 has bluetooth connectivity and also an open source firmware, so it might be way easier to get desired results just adding some programming to the equation. Blue skies

@the.Legend sorry for the late reply, I have Engo 2 Large with tinted lens and a clear visor on my helmet. They are visible pretty good in a bright daylight (and also brightness is adjustable)

So I found a good Black Friday deal and decided to order Engo 2 glasses. They arrived pretty fast and I did short tests with them. I can say that they fit my Kiss helmet nearly perfectly. Also I've connected the glasses not only with phone, but also with Garmin Fenix 7 watches and they work good (it is somewhat non-user-friendly to setup data fields for garmin watches, but absolutely doable). So glasses can show up to 6 data fields on a single page/screen, which I find good enough for WS flying. It is also possible to add more pages/screens, but switching from one screen to another needs hand gestures in front of the glasses, so it is definitely not usable for WS. If you have any questions about the glasses, I can check and give you more details about it.

What about ActiveLook eyewear platform? It looks like they already did everything necessary. For example Engo 2 glasses are available and have connectivity to Garmin wearables/Android/iOs devices. Also ActiveLook provides open API to build specific applications, but for me it looks like we even don't need app development - just connect them to Garmin watches and setup what you want to see on the display (needs confirmation from those who have these glasses)
