How to Choose the Right AR Glasses

You need a terrific headset to make the most of augmented reality’s potential

Two examples illustrate current options. The DAQRI Smart Helmet combines AR sophistication with hardhat protection. The wearer can see information overlying various real-world environments. The helmet can calculate its own position, includes cameras with color, object tracking and infrared capabilities, and includes microphones for remote voice communications. Metavision’s Meta 2 offers a breakthrough 90° field of view. Several units can be networked so coworkers can share holograms and see each others hands and faces. This could improve collaborative work significantly and frees users from the constraints of a fixed workstation.
