With all the hubbub about Google Glass, it's easy to miss all the other companies that are also taking advantage of the availability and power of tiny smartphone components for head-up displays. One of the most promising of those is the Recon Jet, and it just went up for pre-order today.

The Recon Jet comes from a small Vancouver-based company best known for ski tech, including a pair of goggles with a head-up display. The Jet follows in that path, focusing on sports rather than multi-purpose walking-around tech like Google Glass, but instead of winter sports, the Jet is best during the warm months. It looks sort of like a pair of Oakleys, with the display jutting out on the bottom right of the user's field of vision rather than the top left like Google Glass.
