Story

Introducing Minimis Glass

Minimis Glass revolutionizes how you run and cycle. Weighing only 3oz (90g) and precision engineered with style and comfort at the forefront, Minimis Glass empowers you to leave all your devices behind and keep your eyes ahead, working out lighter, better and safer.

As Featured In

Real-Time, Customisable Performance Data

Looking down is not only annoying, but dangerous. A one-second refresh rate provides precise tracking of the stats that matter to you without moving your head, allowing you to stay in the zone and be aware of your surroundings. Easy tap display on/off or set a custom on/off cycle that suits you. Easy upload to Strava with two clicks.

Integrated Maps and GPS Navigation

Minimis Glass ensures you never lose your way. Explore new trails and conquer unknown terrain with confidence, all while effortlessly staying on track with our world-first standalone HUD navigation system.

Keep Your Hands Free and Eyes Focused

With a phone in your sunglasses, you really don’t need to bring anything else. Blind as a bat? We offer precision-engineered prescription insert frames that can be fitted with your prescription lens. Garmin Varia can be seamlessly integrated to allow uncompromised safety whilst cycling.

Anti-Fog, Water Resistant & Non-Slip

Our unique anti-fogging ventilation design and coating keeps your vision clear in humid and sweaty conditions. Unlike others, Minimis Glass won’t slide off your nose in the worst of conditions, achieved through a carefully weight distributed design and an adjustable nose piece.

Unparalleled Power To Fuel Your Best Performance

Several times more powerful than the competition while a fraction of the price, Minimis Glass sports a:

  • Full HD 1080p Diffractive Waveguide Display
  • Qualcomm Quad-core 64-bit CPU @ 2.0 GHz
  • Qualcomm Adreno 702 GPU
  • 2GB RAM
  • 32GB Internal Storage
  • 1300mAh batteries deliver 7-hour battery life with continuous display
  • Charge on the go with a charging case

When we say ditch your phone, we mean it.

See At Night with Polarized Transition Lenses

Our photochromic lenses dynamically adapt the lens darkness according to the external light level. Fully dark during the day, fully transparent at night, allowing you to see clearly whenever you choose to work out. 

Cutting Edge Waveguide Display

Unlike others on the market who use simple projection technology, our cutting-edge waveguide display refracts light precisely through the side of the glass into your eye. This creates a crisp HD image that is both easier to clean and easier on the eyes over long periods!

Join Our Technological Revolution

Covered by 30+ publications and reserved by 350+ athletes before our Kickstarter launch, don’t just take our word for it.

We designed these glasses from day zero in close consultation with a passionate community of hundreds of runners and cyclists. So when we say they’re designed by athletes for athletes, they’re not just empty words.

Quality Support You Deserve

Your device comes with a 1-year replacement warranty, and we’ll have real people with real discretion to quickly help you via live chat with any issues you may encounter. Not bots or humans that may as well be bots with awkward copy pasta scripting.

Minimis Roadmap

Our Story

Hey! My name is Joseph (on the right). On the left you have Rose and Will, the two other Sydney-based gems!

4 years ago I was running as usual with my phone strap. I thought to myself: ‘this is so bulky, uncomfortable and sticky… wouldn’t it be nice if someone were to put everything I need into sunglasses so I wouldn’t have to look down all the time?’

I sat on this idea for years before finally deciding to make the leap of faith and scratch my own itch. That ‘someone’ became me. I didn’t want to die a man with only ideas but no action. 

Over the last 11 months my team of 10 passionate athletes and engineering wizards have worked tirelessly in consultation with hundreds of athletes to design the perfect product for us. We hope you like it as much as we do, and choose to back us to achieve our dream of revolutionizing the fitness wearable industry.

Minimis Glass is only the beginning. We have grand ambitions of further developing this product such as adding bone conduction audio, a rear-view camera, developing the world’s first curved waveguide and even a prescription waveguide. We also plan to serve several more underserved markets – a true slim minimalist phone for digital minimalists, standalone car HUDs and highly requested use cases for our glasses such as golfing, snow sports and motorcycling. 

Join us and our passionate team in our mission to simplify hardware technology through true innovation.
