• Goggle or head mount
• Monocular display
• Weight < 100 grams
• VGA connector
• Power supply: 5V via USB, external battery pack

Use in WearIT@Work Project

• Emergency response (BSPP)
• Aircraft Maintenance (EADS)
• Car Production (Skoda)

Status

The ARTESAS project is technologically completed. Currently the display is being evaluated in applications.
