Wearable technologies look to change the world, but the reality is that most don’t. Many are little more than fancy looking high tech toys that fail to contribute what smart phones and other smart devices already have. While the general public is still transfixed by the latest version of the same old Smart watch, there are some big technologies happening behind the scenes in the big world of business that are looking to reshape our future.
Meet DAQRI, a smart helmet with some pretty big ideas. This professional-grade wearable is designed specifically for industrial applications, and is equipped with what the company is calling “True 4D.” The Smart Helmet’s insides are comprised of a high-resolution 3D depth camera, 360° navigation cameras, high tech, augmented reality sensors, and built in programming and apps.
The Smart Helmet is designed specifically with user experience in mind, letting workers interact with the world around them. The sensors pick up on object recognition and tagging, and let workers access real-time data and information about anything on a jobsite right from their helmet. The data overlays itself right on top of the object/worksite you are seeing in front of you.
Another very cool thing about DAQRI is that it has the ability to instruct workers. By utilizing its True 4D Technology, workers can be given guided instructions through a virtual overlay on any task you assign them, cutting down on wasted time and costly mistakes, all while increasing the pace at which they will learn the process.
The Smart Helmet boasts a smart and sleek design, and its interface can be controlled “through integration with new form factors, such as smart watches.”
From environmental mapping to 3D reconstruction to inventory location tracking and safety recognition, DAQRI seemingly does it all. And don’t just take my word for it. You can check out all of DAQRI’s smart features here in full, and see what they’re calling, “The future of work.”
