DAQRI is proving augmented reality is no longer a gimmick with industry-leading solutions that are changing the way we communicate and convey information. DAQRI recently unveiled the Smart Helmet, a professional-grade head-mounted display for industrial environments. Through the Smart Helmet, work instructions are seamlessly overlaid on top of real-world environments, improving workers’ productivity, safety and efficiency. With high resolution 3D sensors, 360 degree navigating cameras and battery life that lasts an entire shift, the Smart Helmet is the world’s first wearable human machine interface. Co-Founder and Managing Director of DAQRI International Gaia Dempsey gave this keynote at the Wearable Technology Show in London on March 10, 2015.

• Start with High mix, High Value
• Environments where higher
degree of expertise or safety is
needed
• Areas where you need to bridge
talent-experience gap
How to Select Good Use Cases

17. • Lessons learned from augmented reality
wearables in the workplace will port
over to the home, entertainment, media
• EEG integration has the potential to
change BCI forever
• Wearable computing will continue to get
smaller, faster, cheaper, and more
