AUGMENTED REALITY: AR TECHNOLOGY FINDS IT'S PLACE IN MANUFACTURING AND MAINTENANCE

Interviewed by Dan Rafter for Distributed Energy Magazine on augmented reality and it's potential to increase efficiency and safety for industrial and commercial applications.

With industrial, the social situation is much different. Someone wearing a hardhat fitted with sensors isn’t worried about how it looks. In industrial uses, the outcomes are what matter. If you can show that wearing a helmet with sensors can make workers more efficient, that this product can save money, that’s what matters. So it doesn’t surprise me that AR technology is finding a second life in terms of industrial use.
