Los Angeles startup Daqri modernized construction helmet, integrating technology like Google Glass into it.
Daqri Smart Helmet features 360-degree navigation cameras, an industrial-grade inertia measurement system, and high-resolution three-dimensional camera.
For decades, engineers and builders have had the opportunity turn your 2D drawings into 3D renders using systems like AutoCAD, but Smart Helmet takes this process one step further. Helmet allows users to visualize 3D building models in 4D space and interact with them directly.
Smart Helmet provides the same protection as conventional construction helmets, but has a transparent visor covering upper half of the user’s face. He uses the operating room Android system and is able to work 8 hours on a single charge battery. In addition to the functions and features already listed, it can record HD video, take pictures, and compose three-dimensional cards. All these technologies fit into the dimensions and weight of a typical construction helmet.
Augmented reality in construction and design is swift gain popularity. Lowe recently introduced its “Holoroom”, in which the customer enters the planning parameters, creates virtual room, and can customize it with simple gestures hands.

In the field of construction, some professional companies already offer 4D technology based on the use of tablets. A worker with their help projects three-dimensional renderings on the plane while the other person marks the space for subsequent actions. Smart Helmet allows you to perform such operations independently, and without the use of special devices. Applications for the new helmet will be created separately, so each industry can design its own programs, appropriate to their needs. For this, Daqri ships with a 4D helmet. Studio Software – a tool that helps users create applications.
The most advanced prototype of the new helmet will be available already by the end of October this year, and in December it is planned to launch several pilot programs for field industrial tests.
