Minimis, an Australian startup, has recently introduced smart glasses designed specifically for runners and cyclists. These cutting-edge glasses eliminate the need for carrying a separate fitness tracker or smartphone during exercise.
Minimis Glass gadget has eSIM support, ensuring it functions without the need for connection to other devices. Weighing in at just 90 grams, it impressively provides real-time workout information and facilitates seamless navigation. Additionally, it allows wireless headphone connectivity through popular platforms like Spotify.
The glasses feature two 1080p OLED screens with a remarkable brightness of 500 nits. Powered by a 4-core Qualcomm processor, Qualcomm Adreno 702 GPU supplemented by 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, they offer a powerful performance. To cater to the needs of athletes, the glasses utilize an adapted version of Android as the operating system. The interface is thoughtfully designed, occupying only the upper third of the screen to ensure minimal distraction.
Cyclists, in particular, will appreciate the glasses' unique anti-fogging lens technology, addressing the challenge of maintaining clear visibility in high humidity conditions. This ingenious feature, coupled with a secure fit, ensures the glasses remain firmly in place throughout the exercise routine. Furthermore, they seamlessly synchronize with the Garmin Varia radar, offering a dual functionality of a headlight and a warning system to alert users of approaching vehicles.
Equipped battery with a capacity of 1300 mAh, the glasses provide an impressive 7 hours of continuous operation. When periodically turning off the display, the battery life extends to approximately 11 hours.
You can pre-order Minimis Glass on the official website for AU$ 699 (about 450 USD), which includes a 36% discount and a charging case.
