Daqri Upgraded Construction Helmets

Los Angeles startup Daqri upgraded construction helmets, integrating it into a technology similar to Google Glass.
Smart Helmet from Daqri has 360-degree navigation cameras, inertial measurement system of industrial-grade, three-dimensional vision camera and a high resolution.
For decades, engineers and builders were able to turn your 2D drawings into 3D renderings using systems like AutoCAD, but Smart Helmet takes this process one step further. Helm allows users to visualize three-dimensional building model in 4D space and interact with them directly.
Smart Helmet offers the same protection as conventional construction helmets, but has a transparent visor covers the upper half of the face of the user. It uses the Android operating system and is able to work 8 hours on one battery charge. Besides the already mentioned functions and features, it can record HD-video, take pictures, and make three-dimensional maps. All of these technologies fit into the size and weight of a typical construction helmet.
Augmented reality in the construction and design is rapidly gaining popularity. The company recently introduced its Lowe Holoroom, in which the customer enters the parameters of planning, creates a virtual room, and can customize it by simple hand gestures.
In the same building, some companies already offer professional technology 4D, based on the use of the tablets. Work with them projecting three-dimensional renderings on the plane, while the other person marks the space for action. Smart Helmet also allows you to perform such operations on their own and without the use of special procedure. Application for the latest helmet will be created separately, so that each sphere of the industry will be able to design their own programs tailored to their needs. For this Daqri supplies with helmet 4D Studio Software is a tool that helps users build applications.
The most superior sample of the latest helmet will be available by the end of October this year, and in December, is scheduled to launch several pilot programs for the field of industrial tests.
