Conference Emphasizes Field Uses for Software and Devices

摘要

Early adopters are cutting the cord to take long-promised technology, including augmented and virtual reality and artificial intelligence, out of the test labs and into real-world applications. At the annual Autodesk University (AU) conference in Las Vegas on Nov. 14-17, thousands of attendees watched demonstrations of practical technology and wearable devices, including Daqri's augmented-reality Smart Helmet. Mortenson Construction workers earlier this month field-tested a developer's version of Daqri's helmet at a medical-center expansion under construction in Minneapolis. Designed specifically for construction and industrial workers, the device combines an augmented-reality display that runs BIM 360, with an OSHA PPE-certified hardhat and protective eyewear.
