CES 2016: Osterhout Design Group demos AR glasses for healthcare, energy and transportation industries

Osterhout Design Group (ODG) today announced that it’s R-7—the world’s most advanced Augmented Reality (AR) Smartglasses, featuring stunning ultra-transparent 3D stereoscopic displays and packed with innovative technologies, is seeing major traction across key markets including healthcare, energy, transportation, warehouse & logistics and government.

“It’s hard to overstate the impact head-worn computing will have on all walks of life,” said Ralph Osterhout, CEO of ODG. “I believe we’re going to see the R-7 transform enterprise and industrial markets and use cases—potentially even spawning new industries. And this is just the beginning in terms of wearable immersive functionality, as you will see with our highly immersive wide field of view technology demonstration at CES.”

Wrapped in a smaller, lighter and sleeker design, the  R-7 —which recently earned a CES 2016 Best of Innovation Award for the Tablet and Mobile computing category—is a next-generation computing platform that gives users the power and performance of a tablet, completely hands free. It delivers an unparalleled user experience of display clarity, on-board processing power and connectivity, with no external computing or other support needed. 

ODG also announced expanded opportunities for Smartglasses application developers through its ReticleOS Developer program, and for its growing ecosystem of partners through its Reticle Connect partner program. In a further display of leading-edge creativity, the company will demonstrate an immersive ultra-wide field of view (WFOV) technology prototype at CES (Booth 26424, LVCC, South Hall 2).
