ONERA is a modular HUD eyewear designed for cyclists and runners, delivering real-time telemetry without distraction. Its independent HUO module allows easy customization, disassembly, and recyclability. The adaptive interface syncs wirelessly with smartwatches and cycling computers for seamless data visualization. A curved lens design reduces peripheral glare, enhancing clarity for professional riders.

An iconic silhouette, ONERA’s distinctive bridge design sets it apart from traditional sports eyewear, reinforcing its identity as a wearable tech device rather than just a conventional pair of glasses with a HUD. This unique structural element enhances both aesthetics and functionality, ensuring a seamless integration of technology while maintaining a bold, recognizable form.

ONERA’s curved lens extends 30% more than traditional sports glasses, significantly reducing peripheral glare and enhancing visual coverage in dynamic environments. This extended lens design results in shorter-appearing temples, as the curvature shifts the frame’s proportions while maintaining a secure and ergonomic fit.

The 800mAh removable lithium polymer battery is positioned just above the user’s line of sight, serving a dual purpose. In addition to delivering up to 90 hours of continuous use, it acts as a shield against overhead sunlight, minimizing peripheral glare, a key focus area for ONERA. Designed for easy replacement and recyclability, the detachable battery ensures long-term sustainability.

ONERA’s flexible temples are designed to securely grip both the ears and the head, ensuring a stable fit. This prevents slippage caused by its front-heavy design, providing a secure and comfortable experience even during intense movement.

Positioned just below the user’s line of sight, the HUD module projects information without obstructing direct vision. Equipped with an electronically vectored lens, it allows users to adjust the projection orientation by up to 10 degrees in any direction for a customisable viewing experience.

Scalability & Configurable Design

Future-proofing ONERA through modularity ensures adaptability, longevity, and sustainability. Swappable components allow for easy upgrades, repairs, and customization, keeping the product relevant as technology evolves. This approach enhances user experience, reduces waste, and supports scalability across different use cases, making ONERA a durable and forward-thinking solution.

Adjustable and removable nosepieces enhance ergonomics, modularity, and recyclability through easy disassembly. While the lens is designed for a universal fit, the adjustable nosepieces help fine-tune the positioning, reducing any gaps between the lens and the user’s face. This minimises indirect glare and enhances both comfort and focus.

ONERA is accompanied by a hard-shell case with soft felt interiors and a refined charging dock. Framed in aluminium with a book-matched carbon fibre top, the dock embodies understated elegance, subtly accented by the ONERA badging.

ONERA seamlessly aligns with the dock using built-in magnetic guides within the HUD module, ensuring precise positioning every time. A dynamically illuminated indicator on the dock visually represents the HUD’s battery status through a refined chromatic spectrum, transitioning smoothly from red to green.

Component Structure and Assembly

Modularity enhances the product's functionality, offering adaptability and ease of use. However, it also introduces challenges in integration, fitment, and long-term reliability, requiring precise engineering to maintain seamless performance.
