Interesting, but I think the device is a bit too bulky and sticks too far out to work in my use case. The environment where we'd use this is essentially a giant machine shop where you have to wear a hard-hat, it is noisy and dirty and you often have to get into tight spaces with cabling and piping everywhere.
Besides it doesn't look like they are primarily focused on selling the device itself.
For a device to work for us it would either have to be so small it can be worn with a hard hat, and not stick out beyond the helmet and incorporate safety glasses, or it would have to be a lightweight helmet mounted system that can be folded out of the way when not in use so people don't have to change helmets.
With a helmet mounted device you could incorporate the camera(s) in the helmet and perhaps even include an IR camera as well. For the stuff we work on on that project, having an IR camera, would actually be of immense help. Both for on-site work (being able to see what temperature different parts of the machine are with some accuracy), for remote observation and for documenting.
- dbspin 4y agoSeems like both the Microsoft Hololens 2 and Magic Leap 2 fit your requirements.
- CharlieDigital 4y agoReach out to the team. They are not a device company but a software company that focuses on integrating with AR devices. Angelo, the founder, has a deep passion for VR/AR so I'm sure he'd love to hear your use case. As a bonus: their focus has been on adding evidence capture (documentation, really) in the flow of the process. The primary use case is pharma manufacturing execution systems (e.g. installation, configuration, and validation of a new production line).
