XOEye Brings Augmented Reality to Industrial Workplaces

February 7, 2015CES 2015, GadgetsJamie Davis

The 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.

Datavideo Delivers for Video Producers

February 6, 2015CES 2015geek news

The Datavideo Corporation produces a wide range of gear for the audiovisual professional including all the equipment needed for live production, from cameras to switchers and encoders. The Gadget Professor takes a keen interest and interviews Craig Moffat from Datavideo on its own brand products.

Although Todd at GNC broadcasts out of a real studio, some of the independent producers use virtual sets to make the presenter appear in newsroom or similar. It’s a step beyond the well known “green screen” as the whole environment is reproduced, not just the patch behind the presenter. Datavideo’s TVS-1000 Virtual Studio provides a virtual set for one camera at $5,995 and is aimed at the school and education markets.

For those out-and-about, the portable HS-2200 Studio in a Box might be of more interest. With 2 HDMI and 6 HD-SDI inputs it can handle multiple cameras and additional extras, such DVR storage, can increase the functionality of the unit. Cost is around $7,000. There’s plenty more in the video.

Interview by Don Baine, the Gadget Professor. There’s some comedy gold in the background from 7’40” onwards…I think it might be Todd’s mother…
