About ActiveLook

ActiveLook is a light, compact and long lasting head up display technology that integrates in cool looking eyewear.

Activelook also is an open platform and ecosystem of interoperable products (glasses) and services (applications, smart devices) that connect to these glasses.

Activelook therefore positions itself as an ‘Ingredient technology brand’, similar to ‘Bluetooth’, ‘Intel inside’ or ‘Goretex’. 

The current ActiveLook certification plan applies to ActiveLook compatible applications and services, whether running on smart phones, smart watches, bike computers, personal navigation devices or any other BLE enabled smart device.

‍

Certification advantages

ActiveLook certification grants the following advantages:

• The insurance that your application or service will actually work with any "Powered by ActiveLook" devices on the market, whatever the product brand.

• The right to use the ‘Works with ActiveLook’ badge, promoting the compatibility of your app, service or device with ActiveLook technology.

• The promotion of your ActiveLook application to the ActiveLook ecosystem & user base: featured application on webpage, newsletters and communication to various media.

Activelook may also facilitate partnerships with our eyewear brand partners deploying Activelook-compatible glasses and that could be interested in natively marketing your application along with their eyewear.
