“RealWear’s HMT-1 is an ambitious step forward for industrial IoT, with an aim to transform how workers do their jobs,” said Andy Timm, CTO, PTC. “We look forward to helping RealWear work toward delivering a new era of hands-free productivity for the industrial workforce.”
“RealWear’s introduction of the head-mounted tablet category is timely, bringing fully rugged performance and competitive pricing into the landscape of Android wearables for industrial use,” said David Krebs, EVP, VDC Research. “Going beyond the smart glasses form factor and focusing on a completely hands-free user interface are important differentiators.”
The RealWear HMT-1’s intuitive, completely hands-free interface allows voice control of existing Android tablet and smartphone apps. Intended for remote video collaboration, technical documentation, industrial IoT data visualization, assembly and maintenance instructions, and streamlined inspections, the HMT-1 is a faster, safer and smarter way for workers to get their jobs done in harsh and loud field and manufacturing environments. An intrinsically safe model, certified for use in potentially explosive environments such as in the oil, gas, mining and chemical industries will also be available in the fall of 2017.
