Connected Garment and Glasses can Improve Shop Floor Safety
This article on the CIO magazine web site describes how a “smart vest” communicating with smart glasses can help keep employees safer in a dangerous environment. The proposed technology, involving sensors embedded in a garment worn on the job, would alert people about moving machines, detection of toxic chemicals and other changing conditions that could be harmful. The use cases suggest that people would also be able to learn of the danger and how to avoid it using smart glasses communicating with the cloud and IoT-assisted systems.
