RealWear’s technology is a combination of a small computer running on Android and a camera, speaker, microphones. A tiny screen projects information in front of the wearer’s eye.
The wearer can use the screen to call up information on the fly. Workers use the camera to send an image of what they’re seeing to colleagues elsewhere.
This rugged hardhat is actually a smart headset that functions similarly to the original Google Glass but uses the underlying technology quite differently.
