SWIMAR
Live feedback underwater
SwimAR is a holographic heads up display for swimmers that attaches to a regular pair of goggles.
We designed a rugged, waterproof heads-up display (HUD) module that projects a holographic display in the line of sight, for swimmers, in training and covering long distances.
Designed and developed by The Imagination Factory, SwimAR is a smartglass device that has been adapted for a number of environments and in this case, includes GPS for way-finding in open water and feeds data to an app for post training analysis.
“I think it’s great. SwimAR is going to be the go-to product for swimmers and tri-athletes”
Philip Walsh
Founder of the Time Machine Capital & Apex Fitness
“During a study that SwimAR commissioned with the University of Kent we discovered that, on average, open water swimmers cover 9% more distance than intended. This suggests the need for a technology to support wayfinding during swimming.”
