However, on one side, it has an AR display that shows various information such as time and distance while swimming in real time. Inside, in addition to the display, a gyroscope and a battery were built-in. Once charged, it can be used continuously for 16 hours. Of course, it was said to show AR display only on one side, but the goggles itself was designed so that information can be searched through both left and right sides so that AR can be viewed even when used upside down.

When you actually swim, you can set the rest before swimming in addition to the default swimming pool distance settings of 25 and 50m. You can also set records or training. Foam side said that there is no need to set other parts by installing an algorithm that automatically detects swimming methods, etc.

However, this product should not be completely immersed in water. It’s okay to get wet for a while, but it’s good to wipe the water off the inside twice an hour.
