CNET News - Intel plans to make construction helmets safer

2016-01-05
this is the future I'm excited to be here tonight to show off the new daiquiri smart helmet and we've been working with Intel to redesign the helmet from the ground up the result is an extremely powerful piece of technology it has a six generation intel core m seven processor and realsense camera technology built right into the helmet that's amazing that's an amazing amount of technology and this is truly different that's right we think we're changing the way that people think about safety and it's going to have a dramatic impact on workers and it's something that you really have to see so Sam here our industrial worker he's going to show us how powerful the helmet can be now normally the smart helmet is Wireless but we've attached a cable so the audience can see exactly what Sam is seeing here the smart helmet is recognizing the equipment Sam is working with and it's going to use computer enhanced vision to actually read the gauges of the equipment if you look it's identified a potentially dangerous pressure problem so it's going to use augmented reality to give Sam step-by-step work instructions to fix the problem knowing what steps to take and in what order can reduce the time and increase the safety of these activities it's amazing I mean it's truly an amazing system thanks and and when it's done it's actually going to have help Sam order a replacement part but that's not all let's show you another aspect of the daiquiri smart helmet if you look on the adjacent wall there's another set of equipment and from outward appearances everything looks fine but let's switch on the thermal vision with this it's like giving the worker x-ray vision he can actually see through objects and identify potential problems before they occur in electrical mechanical and even plumbing systems
