Chip Shot: Intel Capital Invests in Wearables with Recon Instruments

Intel Capital has made an investment in Recon Instruments, a Canadian technology company behind the world’s first consumer Heads-up Display products for sports. Recon’s products include Jet, a heads-up display for sports that unobtrusively delivers activity-specific information instantly, directly to the athlete’s eye. In addition, Recon recently introduced the Recon Snow2, its fourth generation heads-up display for alpine skiing. With more than 50,000 units shipped worldwide, Recon’s compelling technology is driving the revolution in wearable computing, an area of significant focus for Intel Capital. With the investment, Recon will accelerate product development, marketing and global sales, as well as gain access to Intel Capital’s expertise in manufacturing, operations and technology.
