Toshiba sets Views on Microsoft HoloLens with biz-focused ‘AR’ smart glasses

PC MAKER Toshiba has introduced a set of biz-focused  assisted reality (AR) smart glasses powered by a mini Windows 10 Guru PC.  

Toshiba’s Google Glass-esque dynaEdge AR100 Head Mounted Display (HMD) pairs using a dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC, which is basically a handheld, corded Windows 10 Pro program.

The AR100 HMD is, essentially, a reworked version of Vuzix’s M00 AR headset, complete with a 640×360 resolution eyepiece, 5MP front-facing camera, double brakes, an integrated speaker plus a number of sensors including GPS plus a three-axis accelerometer using a gyroscope for head tracking.

While Toshiba is charging the face-worn wearable because ‘AR’ device, it’s by no way as fully-fledged as Microsoft’s HoloLens.   Rather than displaying digital images overlaid onto the real world, that the AR100 offers wearers a small, landscape orientation display into their peripheral vision, like the experience offered by Google’s now-defunct Glass wearable.

To work, the A100 HMD needs to be hooked up to Toshiba’s dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC. This pint-sized PC connects to the headset through USB-C, and it can be utilized as a traditional Windows 10 Pro device when hooked up on a typical display.

The Mobile Mini PC, which comes powered by a 6th-generation Intel Core vPro processor, is available with 4GB to 16GB of RAM, 128GB into 512GB of both SATA M.two SSD storage. It also offers 802.11ac WiFi a fingerprint reader, a microSD card slot, a headset jack, five navigation buttons and regular USB-A ports together with its USB-C connection.  

Maki Yamashita, SVP of Toshiba’s European PC and Solutions biz, stated: “We are proud to be in the forefront of their wearable-enterprise space, introducing the very first monocular Assisted Reality way to unite the power of some Windows 10 Guru PC, the strong feature set of industrial-grade smart glasses, and industry-specific workflow efficacy provided through our partnership with Ubimax.

“This combination enables us to deliver next-level efficiency and workflow optimisation to frontline workers”

Toshiba’s dynaEdge AR smart glasses will be available starting in the next quarter of 2018  from $1,900. µ
