Rivet Industries announces Hard Spec smart glasses in emerging tech pitch

Smart glasses or artificial intelligence-enabled glasses are expected to become increasingly prominent as a possible replacement for smart phones and other devices in the civilian market, despite current alleged limitations on cost and battery life.

Glasses are marketed to the public and industry on their integrated features such as built-in audio microphones, cameras, video recording, headphones, AI-enabled translation, access to AI voice assistance and AR displays.

In addition, future development is expected in recognising objects, landmarks and people as well as providing contextual information assistance to the user through the head-worn system.

“Rivet Hard Spec technologies firmly link people to their tasks and supporting resources for reliable results even in the most unpredictable conditions,” the company said.

“Tools that are uncomfortable, bulky and complicated get left behind. Soldiers, operators and technicians don’t need more burdens. Rivet Hard Spec is driven by human factors and principled industrial design.

“High-performance teams need tools that are always ready for the job.

“We’re ensuring every soldier is equipped with situational awareness, manoeuvre and targeting capabilities that mesh with squad and command networks. The result is an ultra-clear, shared understanding of the battlespace and decentralised engagement decisions.

“Designed to work with current weapons, data streams and tactics, Rivet’s body-borne system fuses optics, sensors, compute and comms to reduce cognitive load and enhance warfighter lethality.

“Technology novelties are distracting. Professional users demand and deserve superior form, fit and function. Complexity is rampant. People need tools that relentlessly simplify their work.”

The company is reportedly marketing the systems towards superior close combat, protection and security operations in engagements and logistics.
