IRVINE, CA, May 25th, 2016 – Expensive, one-dimensional textbooks and confusing instruction manuals are a step closer to the dustbin of history. EON Reality and ODG have teamed up to provide a knowledge transfer solution that delivers Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality content to users in the educational and industrial sectors.
This first of its kind wearable platform has been optimized for simulation, training and teaching material for workers in and out of the classroom. It can be easily integrated with existing learning management systems, data streams from industrial equipment and simulators, as well as blended video with 3D graphics. EON Reality’s technology also enables AR and VR applications to be transitioned between different display devices, a key component for near-term mass deployments across organizations.«We’ve been following ODG’s development closely,» said Mark Cheben, Global Marketing Director at EON Reality. «The R-7 brings to market a head mounted augmented reality display made for industry and opens up a whole new world of possibilities for our customers. Imagine challenging academic concepts in Biochemistry, where complex compounds and molecules can be seen and manipulated in microscopic detail and on a high-resolution, 3D mobile display. Or imagine an industrial worker out in the field who could access his company’s knowledge management systems and do a practice simulation, fixing a piece of equipment before actually undertaking the task.»
ODG’s Chief Operating Officer, Pete Jameson said of the EON Reality platform, “I think early adopters are really going to be surprised at the competitive advantage when integrating the R-7 smartglasses and the EON Reality solution into their value chains. To be in a refinery, or on a manufacturing line and receive contextual knowledge in real time brings huge benefits to safety, productivity, and efficiency. The training benefits of displaying a heads up instruction manual also speeds up learning and improves retention.”
EON Reality will be showcasing its content in ODG’s booth at this year’s Augmented World Expo and we invite you to drop by and experience what industrial simulation, training and education will look like in the not too distant future.
