Here’s a preview video of the user experience of SAP Asset Manager for Android running on RealWear HMT-1 for 100% hands-free asset management and work …

If you didn’t hear about our Pro Buds noise cancelation hearing protection ear buds (designed by RealWear), you’re probably not hearing clearly in a critical remote session even, even though your device is hearing you fine.

Pro Buds hearing protection headphones are purpose-built for optimal HMT-1 and HMT-1Z1 hands-free experience. RealWear does NOT recommend buying off the shelf headphones and this is why. Plus, they’re intrinsically safe.

Now to the good stuff. RealWear in maritime! Fugro collaborated with our friends at VR Expert in deploying the RealWear HMT-1 to Fugro’s entire fleet. Read the story above. If you, too, have a low-bandwidth challenge, let’s get you on the road to connectivity no matter where you are.

Yes, great companies make cable that we all need for connectivity. By introducing “PG Connect” deployed on RealWear HMT-1 voice-enabled headsets, Prysmian Group, a major manufacturer of electric power transmission and telecommunications cables, can now extend its field service teams’ capabilities during remote testing, collaboration and operations activities.

Qualcomm teamed up with Radio Mobile and RealWear to see what’s possible if you add 5G and the HMT-1 for firefighters, envisioning the Smart City of the future. With RealWear, you can turn your idea into reality.

Together with Cisco, RealWear and NTT, the automotive supplier Hirschmann Automotive has developed and implemented an innovative augmented reality solution in combination with collaboration tools from Cisco. The innovative approach enables the modernization and digitalization of maintenance and simplifies internal location-independent cooperation which saves costs and increases efficiency.

The Linde complex in Linz produces a steady stream of oxygen. LINDE PLANTSERV® has planned an efficient revamp in compliance with strict coronavirus protection regulations  At present, only two LINDE PLANTSERV employees, a site supervisor and a commissioning supervisor, are on permanent duty at the Linz plant complex. Baier explains: “Equipped with the smart glasses, they can go straight to the equipment in question, take photos with the integrated camera, and add notes to these to guide the experts. Based in Pullach, the Linde experts can then view these images in real time and see the condition of the plant components in detail for themselves.” With LindeGO, remote specialists are virtually propelled into the heart of the complex to support on-site technicians. This allows construction and assembly work to be planned for maximum efficiencies, without the cost and delays involved in on-site personnel deployments.

RealWear devices can be used for security and crisis response situations.

Delighted to be a part the digital transformation journey in Pakistan. We had the first successful dry run of Realwear HMT 1Z1 today opening a new era … 31 comments on LinkedIn

It was time for the electricity, but quarantine regulations slowed everything down. With the investment in RealWear equipment and in close cooperation with SCHOLPP in Malaysia, however, the work didn’t stop. Thanks to RealWear headsets, colleagues more than 10,000 kilometres away are not only in contact with their supervisor in Germany via sound, but also via HD image – for technical coordination or virtual construction site tours.

The company was able to launch the unique ‘green’ station despite travel restrictions thanks to RealWear. just 250 m from E4 Highway at Torsvik North exit👍

Thanks to all for the great efforts getting this station running, under travelling restriction making on-site work dificult. The team supported the good guys on site via remote control, realwear glasses and teams meetings.

Remote video calls, navigation of diagnostic documents and images, surgical procedures assisted by Assisted Reality.

Easily record videos of the intervention through the smart viewer room for training, scientific dissemination and presentation of case studies at conferences.
