Anyone who enjoys running knows that it is easier to maintain and improve your performance when you have a running partner who is slightly faster than you and keeps you on track. Unfortunately, in today’s world – and with the long-term social distancing demands of COVID-19 – finding the right partner and coordinating races with others can be almost impossible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motivation when running alone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To meet this need, young Americans who have just graduated from high school have just launched the Ghost Pacer.<\/a> It allows to race against an avatar in AR that only the runner can see. The Ghost Pacer is a pair of AR goggles, which is developed by a group of young graduates from Lakeside High School, the same high school Bill Gates attended in Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of the Ghost Pacer there is a mini-computer powerful enough for its environment, an ultra-bright LED, and a high-resolution augmented reality<\/a> screen. The Ghost Pacer has an 800 mAh battery that can last up to 6 hours of continuous use and takes 1 hour to charge via USB-C. The display has a resolution of 1280 x 720 and a field of view of 30 degrees. In addition, it is water and dust resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its weight of only 90 grams and a maximum thickness of 10 millimetres ensure that no bulky headsets are required throughout the sporting experience. In addition, its patented optical system and the possibility of producing a realistic avatar in 3D space make these glasses an ideal tool for any runner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
