BMW just revealed some new glasses for riding its motorcycles and scooters, but this new set of glasses is anything but ordinary. They’re officially called the ConnectedRide Smartglasses, and you can pair them with your two-wheeled BMW.

Once you set them up, the glasses essentially function as a head-up display for riding. There’s a projector built into the right-eye frame that puts essential information directly in your field of vision. Vitals like speed, the posted speed limit, gear and navigation directions can all be selected and projected from the glasses. You can also change the color of the projection to your suiting. Just like a car’s HUD, it looks like the projection is on the horizon or road ahead of you.
