Enhanced reality
16 December 2014
At the recent SPS IPC Drives Progea introduced its latest studies on virtual reality applications regarding industrial automation systems. In fact, at the company’s stand it was possible to run an enhanced reality application using the Google Glass device.
Progea’s idea for users of industrial automation systems consists in introducing a tool that is not just mobile, but also wearable. Using this device, the user will be able to view the main parameters of the automation system in real time, via wi-fi or mobile broadband connection.
In further detail, in an experimental sample run Progea has shown how the user will employ Google Glass with the Movicon supervision software to view several different panels pertaining to the operational area of the local plant, and to access relevant information in real time.
