Criteria of Smart Glasses

ROBUSTNESS

Smart glasses must meet the requirements for work in industrial conditions (resistance to noise, dust, temperature changes, etc.). They are also suitable for work in clean environments, such as the pharmaceutical industry.

PERFORMANCE

The overall performance of smart glasses depends on several aspects that affect it, for instance, battery life, camera resolution, sound performance, control, operating system, etc.

COMFORT

Smart glasses must be both comfortable to wear throughout the shift and compatible with all PPE. Wearing comfort affects the adoption of this technology and the final success of its deployment.

MICROSOFT HOLOLENS 2

HoloLens 2 is Microsoft’s second-generation mixed reality glasses. In addition to improved hardware, binocular smart glasses offer 2k screen resolution, a flip up display, and gesture recognition for control.

Thanks to this technology, you can work with 3D objects in space. However, the overall durability is not as high as with other glasses. HoloLens are suitable mostly for visualizations and training, where it is necessary to work with 3D data.
