USE CASES

INSTALLEDPLATFORM

Industry will Begin to Optimize Hardware to Overcome Barriers to Scale

June 1, 2016 Enterprise AR at AWE 2016 9

Hardware Deficiencies: All-day wearability (weight/comfort) Safety Enterprise level reliability Durability Clean/control/share Battery management

Infrastructure Support: Optimizing hardware allows for seamless integration into

existing infrastructure Compatibility with existing peripherals allows for more rapid

integration Customized hardware tailored to existing IT dramatically reduces internal

support and resources when scaling

Costs: Reduce the costs of pilots by eliminating early

large software integration effort Reduce cost to scale through early integration

with current operations

Content: Significant existing data/content available currently – NOT

formatted for wearable Optimize the device to present available data – don’t change

all the data to fit the device

Manufacturing & Warehousing

June 1, 2016 Enterprise AR at AWE 2016 10

Use Case Scenarios- Warehousing: Sorting Pick and Pack Palletizing Pick route guidance

Optimized Hardware Solution: Display only system optimized for data in

low/medium bright environments See-through optic 17.5 degree FOV Bluetooth LE and WiFi to host device 10-12 hours of battery life 1 button control Complex UI through Android device

Key Requirements: Low power – lasting full shift Durable/cleanable Adjustable to multiple users Direct integration with existing platform Low price point

Use Case Objective: Provide critical data directly to workers FOV for multiple operations on a factory floor or in the warehouse

Use Case Scenarios- Manufacturing: Work flow management Task/operations instructions Reference to QC details Palletizing Picking or placement routes

Public Safety

June 1, 2016 Enterprise AR at AWE 2016 11

Use Case objective: Provide Situational Awareness Data to Operator in Real TimeUse Case Scenarios:

Provide alert data from command post and/or sensors (e.g. dash cam)

Provide geolocation of assets at the scene Stream real-time to CP and enable high res image capture Provide thermal overlay ability for low light/low visibility

locations Enable facial recognition Display critical data from equipment on the first responder

(radio frequencies, oxygen levels, temperatures, etc.)

Key Requirements: Low power – lasting full shift Durable/cleanable Customized to single user Direct integration with existing platform Higher cost target for integrated system

Optimized Hardware Solution: Monolithic board assembly allowing remote electronics Increased flexibility through modular display and camera driver

boards for “family of solutions” Base platform allows options such as:

Multi Sensor Fusion (SWIR/FLIR) Two-Way Video Capability -

1080P resolution for image capture 720p for streaming efficiencies/power

Ability to push and receive images between personnelLinked to current radios to leverage data transmission/officer identification and create mesh network effect in the field
