Rather than fully implementing the screen projection technology into the entire viewpoint of the wearer, the 'Recon Jet' glasses keep the information on the peripheral in order to ensure they aren't distracted during use. This would come in handy for those who would utilize the glasses for [sporting or professional purposes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-eyewear) in order to ensure that their concentration wouldn't be compromised. The 'Recon Jet' eyewear glasses are the design work of Recon Instruments and can be utilized for navigational purposes or to keep track of various statistics, which makes them quite useful for athletes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Peripheral Display:** The use of peripheral display technology in smart eyewear glasses allows for focused use without distractions. - **Sport and Professional Applications:** Smart eyewear glasses are being developed specifically for sports and professional use to enhance performance and concentration. - **Navigational and Statistic Tracking:** Smart eyewear glasses designed for navigational purposes and tracking statistics provide useful functionalities for various industries. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sports and Athletics:** The sports and athletics industry can benefit from the use of smart eyewear glasses that enhance performance and concentration during activities. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Smart eyewear glasses designed for navigational purposes can be used by outdoor enthusiasts for hiking, biking, and other activities where navigation is crucial. - **Professional Services:** The professional services industry can leverage smart eyewear glasses with peripheral displays to enhance productivity and concentration during work. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR-Enabled Sports Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engo-2.md) - [Real-Time Performance-Tracking Eyewear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-eyewear1.md) - [Connected Snow Sport Goggles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rekkie-smart-snow-goggles.md) - [Connected Athletic Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimis-glass.md) - [Demure Display-Equipped Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-rayban-display-sunglasses.md) - [HUD-Equipped Smart Cyclist Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmo-vision.md) - [Cyclist-Targeted AR Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lawk-one-ar-glasses.md) - [Open-Source AI Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frame-glasses.md) - [AI-Packed Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayneo-x3-pro.md)
