THE HANDS-FREE GALILEO HUD
The Galileo HUD is an innovative and unique air-integrated dive computer that will forever change the way of diving. This technologically-advanced dive computer offers a head-up display that is mounted on a dual-lens mask, delivering excellent readability along with hands-free data monitoring.
“FLOATING” DISPLAY: The Galileo HUD is designed to be mounted on a diving mask in close proximity to the human eye. Using precision near-eye optics, this “floating” display creates a screen image that appears at a virtual distance of approximately 3ft/1m, which allows divers to keep their eyes on both their dive data and the underwater scenery at the same time.
SINGLE-KNOB USER CONTROL: When it’s time to change screens or make adjustments, the Galileo HUD features an intuitive push-wheel that allows you to access functions with one hand. To operate the push-wheel, it has to be simply rotated to navigate up and down within a menu, or increase or decrease a user setting.
