XOEye Brings Augmented Reality to Industrial Workplaces

CES 2015, Gadgets

xoeye-logoThe folks at XOEye are leveraging existing wearable technologies to bring that functionality to new marketplaces that have not been served by the consumer electronics industry before. They are targeting industrial and manufacturing marketplaces where the new wearable technologies can be used to provide increased functionality to an existing workforce.

Imagine a supervisor on a manufacturing floor who needs to locate a specific part of the equipment or machinery that performs a certain process. Using wearable augmented reality technology, that supervisor can bring their manufacturing floor plan up on a heads-up display in front of them and zero in on the targeted area to see exactly where on the plant floor they need to travel and what part of the machinery needs their attention.

Similarly, a home repair technician performing maintenance can bring up previous maintenance reports when fixing someone’s furnace or water heater. The opportunities for this type of technology are endless. Find out more about XOEye at www.xoeye.com.

Valeo is Revolutionizing Many Automation Tools for Self-Driving Cars

Auto, CES 2015
Valeo In Your Car
Valeo In Your Car

Valeo Vice President and Innovation Manager Guillaume Devauchelle stopped by the Tech Podcast Network booth to talk with TPN host Jamie Davis, the Podmedic. Valeo is innovating the driverless car at International CES 2015 with their advanced technologies in the man-machine interface.

At CES they are demonstrating the three pillars of intuitive driving: the autonomous car, saving drivers time to do other tasks, and the man-machine interface. Sure initially the driverless car concept might be frightening but Valeo believes that eventually you will forget that there is that man-machine interface and the car will safely transport you to your destination seamlessly.

Guillaume reiterates what other proponents of driverless car systems have said, “automated, driverless cars are far safer on the roads than human driven cars. They don’t become distracted by peripheral events in or outside of the car and their attention is solely on the task of driving the road ahead and avoiding potential hazards.
