assisted reality

Assisted reality is a relatively new concept but is beginning to revolutionise the way our essential industries work.

Assisted reality, also denoted as “aR”, allows users to view information via a screen that is directly in their field of vision, working hands-free. Think heads up displays in vehicles, smart glasses and head-mounted tablets with micro-displays as examples.

Unlike Augmented Reality (AR), which can change what the user sees, Assisted Reality adds an extra layer of information to the user’s existing field of vision. It delivers information such as text, images, videos and diagrams to enhance the situational awareness of the user.

Examples of real-world, wearable aR devices include head-mounted tablets for technicians and industrial workers. Small, wearable computers that can deliver information, replacing the need for handheld tablets, laptops, and cumbersome documents to transform the way people work.
