Mixed reality brings virtual and real worlds together to create new environments with digital and physical objects and sounds, as well as their data, coexisting and interacting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just as hand-held barcode scanners, voice-directed picking headsets and mobile devices\u2014such as smart phones and tablets\u2014enhanced worker mobility and productivity in a variety of areas, so too will AR smart glasses, says Ron Kubera, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at MHI member Lucas Systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin the four walls of operations, distribution centers across the board are adopting technologies that provide visual information to workers within current processes,\u201d he says. \u201cWith the transition to Android operating systems as a mobile computing platform, we\u2019ve already seen users adopt tablets, smart phones and watches in their operations. I think adoption of smart glasses is going to accelerate over the next 18 to 24 months because of the visual component they offer alongside other hands-free technologies, especially multi-lingual voice-direction and speech recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>By Brian Reaves<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nxtbook.com\/naylor\/MHIQ\/MHIQ0317\/index.php#\/20\"><strong>Read more\u2026<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Emerging Technology Making Inroads within Specific Supply Chain Processes If seeing is believing, then manufacturing, warehousing and distribution facilities throughout the supply chain can expect to be taking a closer look at the latest wearable technology emerging as a viable competitive advantage in operations: smart glasses leveraging augmented reality.
