A press release dated March 12 2018 revealed that Toshiba’s Client Solutions Division (CSD) a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., announced the first completely wearable Augmented Reality (AR) solution to combine the power of a Windows 10 Pro PC with the robust feature set of industrial-grade smart glasses.

 

Toshiba’s new dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses, the first completely wearable Augmented Reality (AR) solution to combine the power of a Windows 10 Pro PC with the robust feature set of industrial-grade smart glasses, is said to redefine how a Wearable Windows PC is used in the Field.

Designed for enterprise customers, Toshiba’s new dynaEdgeTM AR Smart Glasses packages together the company’s new dynaEdge AR100 Head Mounted Display (HMD) with its dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC for a completely wearable PC system maximizing mobility, productivity and security without compromising flexibility.

Toshiba’s new AR solution provides Document Viewing, Live Video Calls, See-What-I-See, Photo/Video Capture, Alerts/Messaging, Workflow Instruction and Barcode Scanning capabilities making it ideal for a variety of uses cases, including Maintenance, Remote Expert, Manufacturing, QA Inspection & Audit, Logistics, Training and Knowledge Transfer.

As noted on a blog about the same on the firstpost.com blog, since the device is engineered for enterprise use, its capabilities are mostly limited to on-the-job applications rather than daily activities. Toshiba’s handsfree AR solution is capable of functions such as viewing documents, making live video calls, a photo/video capture mode, maintaining workflow instructions and a barcode scanning ability. The unit also packs in a See-What-I-See mode. This makes it ideal for a variety of enterprise use scenarios including maintenance, manufacturing, quality assessment, logistics etc.
