RAPTOR FEATURE SET
Everysight‘s Raptor AR Smartglasses (Raptor) is the first consumer-focused augmented reality (AR) smartglasses for cyclists, triathletes, and early adopters. Raptors enhance cycling performance using augmented reality to provide riders with the real-time data and information they need to become faster, fitter, and more efficient. Raptor comes in three colors (Stealth Black, Electric Green, and Arctic Blue). Everysight offers accessories such as a handlebar control system, RX adaptors, and tinted visors.
Raptor AR Smartglasses enhance a rider’s experience/performance by:
- Displaying What Matters in Real Time — Patented BEAM™ Technology and ANT+/BT connectivity mean that Raptor overlays sharp, high-resolution, yet semi-transparent, information such as heart rate, cadence, speed, power, distance and more, out in front of riders at all times.
- Delivering Navigation — Built-in GPS/GLONASS and the Raptor navigation display mean riders will never miss a turn while moving.
- Maximizing Safety — It is safer to view a semi-transparent display of the data projected in the visor than to look down, away from the road, at a cycling computer while in the paceline, on a technical riding section, or while riding to work through traffic.
- Raptor Speaker allows riders to listen to music or receive phone calls without covering the ears.
- Raptor Speaker allows riders to listen to music or receive phone calls without covering the ears.
- Staying Connected — Bluetooth connectivity allows Raptor to deliver phone notifications while on the go, so riders will never miss an important message or have to search for their phone in their back pocket while riding.
- HD Camera — A built-in look-and-shoot HD camera with voice and data overlay enable riders to capture the essence of their cycling experience, whether that’s on a training ride, a joy ride, or a race. All images and videos can be shared with friends, followers, or coaches through any social media channel post ride.
- Ride Time — Everysight’s BEAM™ Technology minimizes power consumption, allowing riders to enjoy up to 8 hours without having to recharge.
- Easy Function Control — Rides can use voice commands or simply swipe and tap the touchpad located on the right temple of the Raptor to alter their view, control maps, volume, brightness, data screens and more.
- Companion App — All captured information (heart rate, cadence, speed, power, etc.) uploads to Raptor’s companion app (Android and iOS), and can be shared through social media channels or synced to popular third-party fitness and cycling apps.

- Handlebar Control System: A handlebar controller ($59 USD & GBP/69 EUR/79 CAD) will allow riders to control all Raptor functions with their thumb or finger.
