– Global wearable brand Cybersite to launch an exclusive crowdfunding campaign for the “Zenith Pro” on Wadiz starting September 24
Wadiz(CEO Shin Hye-sung, www.wadiz.kr) will exclusively launch the “Zenith Pro,” an AI sports glass from the global wearable brand CYBERSIGHT, in South Korea on September 24. Through this crowdfunding project, the company will introduce a new trend in AI glasses to the South Korean market, marking a shift from general-purpose models to those specifically designed for sports.
Recently, the AI glasses market has been segmenting from general-purpose models—widely used in daily life for tasks such as translation and photography—to functional products tailored to specific activities like running and cycling. On Wadiz, the cumulative funding for AI glasses projects over the past year and a half has reached approximately 600 million won, and new sports-specific products have also emerged. Following the popularization of AI glasses, the trend toward “segmentation by use case” is also taking shape on Wadiz.
The Zenith Pro, unveiled today, is designed to let you check essential workout metrics while running or cycling without having to look down at your wrist or the dashboard. It displays over 60 types of workout data—including speed, heart rate, distance, elevation, and gradient—via a binocular HUD. It syncs with a variety of devices, such as Garmin smartwatches and cycling computers, as well as Apple Watch, iPhone, and Android smartphones, and supports alerts for sharp turns and vehicles approaching from behind, as well as voice communication among teammates.
Cybersite is a sports smart glasses brand founded in Singapore in 2024. Previously, under the name “Zenith,” the company raised approximately 1.5 billion won on the international crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. This time, it is unveiling its new product, the “Zenith Pro,” for the first time in Korea at Wadizto gauge consumer response and demand and secure its initial customer base.
Wadiz An official stated, “While general-purpose AI glasses have popularized a new user experience, the market is now entering a phase of segmentation toward products tailored to specific purposes, such as running and cycling.” The official added, “Wadizis one step ahead in identifying the next markets that new tech products will open up, and we will continue to provide steady support so that global innovative brands can confirm their potential and grow in the Korean market.”
Funding for the Zenith Pro will begin at 2:00 p.m. on September 24 at Wadiz. A variety of bundles—including the standalone AI sports glasses, a Garmin GPS, and Giro d’Italia special edition lenses—will be available with discounts of up to 22%.
