Is this Idea Original?

For my business class we had to think of a sports related product or service on which we will spend the semester making a business plan.

The idea we came up with was Ski Goggles which include a digital clock and temperature display in one of the corners, so skiers would be able to check the time and temperature with peripheral vision rather than uncovering a watch.

My question is: Does this product already exist or did we finally find our original product?

thanks!

I've never heard of anything like that, sounds pretty cool, but it might be kinda annoying, and dangerous, peripheral(sp?)vision is pretty important

sounds pretty sick (and expensive), but for me most lifts have a clock at the top or bottom but not the temp

He doesn't need to actually create it, just make a business plan

and no, I don't think anything like that has been created.

yeah, one of our earlier ideas was doing a stopwatch display on the inside of swimming goggles. Then we found that someone had already done that in 2005, so we came up with this.
