At the start of the year, Los Angeles -based “human-machine interface company”, Daqri, unveiled their flagship product, The Daqri Smart Helmet.
The helmet is, essentially, a smart hardhat that enables users see an augmented reality of the real world overlaid with layers of computer imagery, giving them additional information about their surroundings. With its blue, scratch-resistant visor, the Smart helmet was specifically created for workers in industrial settings, such as plants, rigs and construction sites with the intention to increase productivity, efficiency and safety.
