The glasses are also able to speak to external sensors ANT+/BLE devices such as power meters and heart rate monitors.. The glasses make use of Intel’s Real Speech which allows for conversational dialogue with the coaching system which is built into the glasses. The system currently understands English, Italian, German, Spanish and French. There is also a touch pad on the left temple for swipe control.
