Intelligent helmet protects more than just the head
An intelligent industrial helmet that not only protects the head but is designed to simplify work will be launched in spring 2016.
At the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the latest gadgets are always presented to the public. This year, an intelligent industrial helmet attracted a lot of attention: the Daqri. Developed by the US company of the same name, the helmet is designed not only to protect the head, but also to make work easier and safer.
The helmet uses the principle of augmented reality - it analyzes its surroundings and displays additional information. This can be work instructions or safety information, for example. But it can also make things visible that would otherwise remain hidden from the eye - such as thermal images, cracks in the walls or visualizations of the finished building.
According to the manufacturer, the helmet will be on the market in spring 2016.
