A pair of augmented reality safety glasses and cooling apparel designed specifically for hot Middle East climes are examples of the latest Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) on display at Intersec 2018 that will ensure the safety and health of regional workers.
Italian safety equipment manufacturer Univet will introduce its VisionAR Smart Glasses, which integrate Sony’s holographic waveguide technology into eye protection, allowing wearers to view real time data without looking away from what they’re doing.
The 2017 Red Dot Award goggles display data on a holographic screen behind the right protective lens. The screen is clear so the wearer can see through it, while data on computers, tablets, and smartphones, can be accessed via WiFi or Bluetooth.
Paola Portesi, CEO of Univet, said its VisionAR Smart Glasses are ideal for applications that require eye protection while processing large amounts of real time data including in logistics and warehousing, manufacturing, rescue operations, medical, or oil & gas.
“For example, a warehouse worker might view packing and shipping lists, a doctor the patient’s vital signs, a factory worker assembly instructions, or a rescue officer text notifications from partner units,” said Portesi, “VisionAR improves the operator’s performance, while never forgetting maximum eye protection and safety.”
The Indian manufacturer will launch its Cooling Apparel line comprising three technologies; Dry Evaporative Cooling, Hydra Evaporative Cooling and PCM (phase change material) oriented Cooling.
Vikas Kumar Maan, CEO of Cool Magic said, “Its cooling apparel is ideal for the hottest Middle East climates. The Middle East has the highest ambient temperatures for the majority of the year, and commuters, labourers, or sports teams are at risk of heat related illnesses.”
“Our cooling apparels and accessories are the perfect solution to prevent heat stress. Our technology is simple to use; it requires water to soak the product and thereby with slow evaporation of water, the wearer feels comfortable with natural cooling. It’s medically approved and cost effective. The technology not only helps users feel comfortable and safe, but also results in higher productivity rates thereby helping businesses,” added Maan.
