Augmented reality
RealWear is a brand of hands-free, voice-controlled, assisted reality smart glasses that support real-time audiovisual communication between the crew and external parties – such as the office, trainers, and technical experts. Seafarers can receive remote guidance on tasks or real-time feedback on issues while keeping both hands on the job, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
The smart glasses are fitted with a high-quality camera, microphone and display, and can be mounted onto a hard hat or other headwear, from where they can be activated by simple voice commands to access information or call for assistance, without the need for any physical interface.
