Italian safety equipment manufacturer Univet just received a 2017 Red Dot Award for its augmented reality safety glasses. The glasses integrate Sony’s “holographic waveguide technology” into eye protection that allows wearers to view real time data without looking up from what they are doing.
A monocular projection system displays data on a holographic screen behind the right protective lens. The screen is clear so the wearer can see through it.
The glasses can use WiFi or Bluetooth to access data on computers, tables, and smartphones. Information is able to travel in both directions so data can be collected from internal sensors such as the GPS and microphone or optional sensors such as thermometers and cameras.
Take a look at the pictures and videos.
