Many experts agree that smart glasses and AR will be essential in various Industry 4.0 areas going forward. Experiments are already underway in the automobile, manufacturing, and field service environments. From a collaboration and remote work front, smart glasses can even be a useful tool for those who need a secondary screen.
The fresh partnership with Spinar America gives Epson a fantastic partner to build their technology. This collaboration will integrate the Epson Moverio smart glasses with the remote vision SaaS offering from Spinar America. The remote vision solution comes with Zoom video conferencing.
Discovering the Benefits of AR
