In these days where travel is limited and we’re encouraged to distance ourselves, a solution that bridges the miles separating us will be critical. Whether it is the doctor or nurse in a hospital, retail store employees, manufacturing line workers, or field service repair individuals around the world, engineers working on remote oil rigs, mines or power plants, or car mechanics – they also need digital capabilities which are different from the traditional desk workers. This is where RealWear’s HMT-1 and Cisco Webex Teams comes in.

Webex Expert-on-Demand on RealWear turns the RealWear HMT-1(Head Mounted Tablet) into a voice-activated collaboration headset which connects the frontline worker with the rest of the organization whether or not they are at a remote office or atop a cellphone tower. All that is required is the AR device and a wireless network connection. On the other end, the expert connects to the frontline worker instantly, by using Cisco Webex Teams. The expert can see exactly what the frontline worker sees and can remotely (and securely) annotate images or documents to assist the frontline worker accomplish their mission.

This enables workers to connect to the right expert at the right time, who can guide them step-by-step in solving problems.  Experts need to see exactly what the frontline workers are seeing as they are performing their job.  And above all, the frontline worker needs this solution to be hands-free and tailored for potentially ruggedized environments
