“The design and wearability
is key, and the BT-350 is designed with commercial applications in mind. Its
durable build and features designed for comfort mean it can be repeatedly worn
by lots of visitors, fitting comfortably for long periods of time, regardless
of their shape, size, or if they wear glasses. Its unique design has been
created using feedback from customers and projects. Epson’s focus on a wide
range of commercial and industrial applications with the Moverio range is what
sets us apart from other brands on the market,” said Siew Jin Kiat, Regional

Designed for critical
industrial needs, the Moverio Pro BT-2200 smart headset is based on a rugged
and durable platform built specifically for helmet-mandatory
environments. Through augmented reality overlays, the headset enables
workers in various locations to see exactly what their counterparts are seeing
to provide informed support and training. The smart headset comes with a new
hinge specifically designed to fit over front brim helmets, making it an ideal
device for use in dangerous worksites that require workers to put on helmets
such as in construction environment.

The smart headset also boasts
removable batteries, a wired control pad, and an ambient light sensor. Along
with GPS, the smart headset deploys an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for precise
location that enables the device to accurately detect workers’ movements.
Bluetooth LE, combined with beacons and Wi-Fi further enhance the precision of
indoor positioning.
