Mod Live ($400) is a type of heads-up display created by Recon Instruments designed to enrich the alpine experience. The unit fits into compatible goggles giving the user access to a host of information at the blink of an eye. The small display provides clear widescreen graphics when you want them, and keeps them just out-of-sight when you don't. Speed, vertical descent, jump airtime, navigation, buddy locating, number of descents, and distance are all delivered using built-in precision GPS and an integrated suite of sensors. Ingenious optics on the tiny display ensure that your eye does not need to refocus to read information- it's the same as looking at a fourteen inch screen from a distance of five feet. The unit also boasts smart phone connectivity to allow you to control your epic pow playlist and do other smart phone stuff, but hopefully you don't care to much about that on your mountain excursions. Gone are the days of soggy maps and fumbling with your gloves or touch screens. A host of compatible goggles are already available from Smith, Oakley, Scott, and more. Stay tuned- Recon is already applying this same tech to base jumping for the squirrel suit junkies.
