If you’ve been wondering how you can bring your Android app idea to the legions
of HUD-goggle-wearing snowboarders around the world, wait no longer. Recon
Instruments, the company behind the MOD
Live, is launching an SDK at Google I/O this week. Developers will be able
to access APIs for the device's long list of sensors, which include an
altimeter, 3-axis accelerometer, and a barometer. To show off what’s capable
with the SDK, Recon is showing off an app called RTP LiveView (video below),
that shows you current snow and weather conditions, and offers GPS mapping and
lift information. Why wait until next
year to realize your HUD dreams? Recon’s SDK is available for download now
from its site.
