Machine vision applications with wearable devices
Blog post from Roboflow
XR Tech, a UK-based provider of extended reality technologies, employs machine vision to enhance industrial safety and operational efficiency. Utilizing devices like RealWear and Hololens, XR Tech equips workers with body-mounted cameras that stream data to machine vision models trained on the Roboflow platform, forming a smart safety system that detects personal protective equipment (PPE) compliance and high-risk hazards. The system's rapid response capability improves safety in high-risk environments by addressing issues such as improper PPE usage. To develop effective models, XR Tech emphasizes good training practices, data hygiene, and targeted data collection, utilizing an open-source hard hat dataset to speed model development. Their mobile app processes live-streamed data, sending it to models hosted on Roboflow's endpoint, with the results used to inform safety measures. This integration of cutting-edge technology and best practices in machine vision is yielding significant advancements in industrial applications.
