DigiLens Inc, a company leading the immersive industries in holographic smart glasses and waveguides, unveiled its ARGO extended reality (XR) device on Tuesday.
The firm’s latest innovation is a standalone solution for enterprise and industrial workers. It features some of DigiLens’ top-rated crystal waveguides with multiple upgrades.
Numerous industries, including frontline workers, doctors, surgeons, and remote inspectors can boost real-time communications with the solution.
What is Included?
DigiLens’ upgrade offers vastly reduced eye glow, a smaller form factor, and expanded collaborative tools. Wearers can also use the device indoors and outdoors for a versatile, user-friendly approach to augmented work.
The solution offers a rugged industrial, enterprise-focused form factor with hands-free functionality with voice and gaze recognition.
The smart glasses also provide 48-megapixel resolutions for enhanced, photorealistic imaging. It also offers crisp communication even in noisy environments, for headset wearers with multiple microphones.
ARGO holographic smart glasses also connect users from any location with low-latency bandwidth requirements. Additionally, the platform’s Digi operating system (OS) allows the ARGO to scale up for future software and hardware requirements.
Most industry verticals can affordably purchase and leverage the new headset to develop fresh use cases for their respective industries.
ARGO also boosts situation awareness with cutting-edge, immersive tools with teams. Merging the physical world with real-time 3D (RT3D) content empowers workforces with several key advantages. These include reducing equipment downtimes and operational costs, streamlining workflows, and accessing key manuals and other data on the fly.
ARGO Smart Glasses Comments and Updates
According to Chris Pickett, Chief Executive of DigiLens Inc, the new ARGO smart glasses were the “future of wearable computing.”
He continued in a statement,
“ARGO will open up the next generation of mobile computing and voice and be the first true AR device to be deployed at mass scale. By helping people connect and collaborate in the real – not merely virtual – world, ARGO will deliver productivity gains across sectors and improve people’s lives.”
The news comes after the firm partnered with semiconductor Omnivision to create a novel series of XR products for markets and applications. The deal will facilitate greater innovations for the global XR ecosystem.
Nima Shams, Vice-President and General Manager for DigiLens, said in a statement on Thursday last week,
“DigiLens has been driving best-in-class XR technologies for more than a decade, and OMNIVISION places our customers at the leading edge of LCOS display and imaging technology with its commitment to innovative, forward-thinking solutions”
The Sunnyvale-based startup also announced it had developed its Design v1 smart glasses via its Visualize Framework.
Its holographic waveguides work jointly with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR2 processor for standalone functionality. The Design v1 will also offer a roughly 52-degree diagonal field of view (FoV), comparable to Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 but with brighter imaging.
