Construction hat of the 21st century: 4D in action Bashny.Net

Los Angeles-based startup Daqri modernized construction helmet, integrating in it technology, like Google Glass.





Smart Helmet from Daqri has a 360-degree navigation cameras, a measurement system inertia of the industrial class, and the three-dimensional vision camera of high resolution.

For decades, engineers and builders had the opportunity to turn their 2D drawings into 3D renderings using systems like AutoCAD, but the Smart Helmet takes this process one step further. The helmet allows users to visualize three-dimensional building models in 4D space and interact with them directly.

Smart Helmet provides the same protection as conventional construction helmets, but has a transparent visor covering the upper half of the face of the user. It uses the Android operating system and is able to work 8 hours on a single charge of the battery. In addition to the above functions and features, it can record HD videos, take pictures, and make three-dimensional maps. All of these technologies are within the size and weight of a typical construction helmet.

Augmented reality in the construction and design is rapidly gaining popularity. Recently, Lowe's introduced its "Holoroom", in which the customer enters the parameters of the plan, creates a virtual room and can customize its simple hand gestures.





In the area of construction some professional companies already offer 4D technology based on the use of tablets. Working with them projecting three-dimensional renderings of the plane, while the other person lays out the space for subsequent actions. Smart Helmet allows you to perform such operations independently, without the use of special devices. Application for a new helmet will be created separately so that each industry will be able to design their own programs appropriate to their needs. This provides Daqri helmet 4D Studio Software is a tool that helps users to create applications.

The most advanced prototype of a new helmet will be available by the end of October this year, and in December it is planned to launch several pilot programs to conduct field production tests.
