“RealWear is immensely useful technology that help workers access data without use of hands to stream video back to a team member, or receive guidance during training periods. Think Google Glass, but attached to a hardhat or cap. HMT-1Z1 is explosion-proof and explosion-tested.” - Digital Trends

Amazone selected RealWear HMT-1 because it is more rugged than its competitors and empowers its workers for their best. The voice command lets workers keep both hands free to interact with a computer and take pictures.

While we respectfully disagree that our device is unsexy or unglamorous, our customers have told us that we are tapping into a huge opportunity to make life easier and better for all workers.

The core use cases for the HMT-1 are productivity, safety, and empowerment.

Announcements included innovations in enterprise, entertainment, cinema, smart wearables, sensing suits, vision and audio enhancement, mixed reality sports and 3-D smartphone technology.

Nice coverage here reporting that our HMT-1Z1 presents no ignition risk where potentially explosive atmospheres exist during routine operations and unpacks all of our specs that keeps our customers happy.  “The HMT-1Z1 comes with a 2.0 GHz 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 with Adreno 506 GPU chipset, with 2GB RAM running Android 6.0.1 with WearHF hands-free interface. The wearable supported 16GB of internal storage along with a MicroSD slot. It offers 8-10 hours of battery life and offers 20-degree field-of-view, 1 meter fixed focus display with a resolution of 854×480.”

AWE was a celebration of AR’s progress.  Forbes writer Charlie Fink gives the rundown and gives a mention of RealWear as one of the major AWE announcements.

Great post by Adam Vitt, part of the Manitoba Hydro team leading innovation & the adoption of emerging technologies: “I recently spent two full days performing asset maintenance inspections across Southern Manitoba with Ryan Canada. Instead of the traditional way of writing down site information and readings on paper, then trying to re-read your own scribble & re-enter the text back in the office, I was able to perform the inspections via the RealWear, Inc. HMT-1 & Manitoba Hydro International’s VisualSpection platform at the same pace as Ryan. The kicker - I didn’t have to re-enter the information when we got back to head office due to the speech-to-text functionality & centralized data integration. I was also able to collect “rich” data, not just text and asset readings, but also HD photos & videos that give an actual depiction of site conditions. The HMT-1 unit held up fantastically on both days. I started each day at 8am ending at 4pm; I did not charge the unit once during the working day, only when we got back to the office. Inspections consisted of asset data readings, media collection, & remote mentor (or peer to peer communication) testing at each site. Battery life on Day 1 ended at 45%; battery life Day 2 ended at 39%. Over the two days, we saved roughly 2 hours of painful data entry in the field. How valuable is your time?”
