Moverio BT-300, Epson announces new SmartGlass for augmented reality, even in 3D

Undoubtedly virtual reality and augmented reality are among the hottest topics of the Mobile World Congress, though what emerges in these hectic days of the exhibition reflects a much broader sense in vogue for some time. Virtual reality, which provides a world created entirely digitally for an immersive experience, especially in the field of gaming (at least in the first real and visible applications), it is one on which focuses the most attention of the general public.
Truly are the proposals on augmented reality to offer more ideas for a concrete reflection on the state of things. From time are making their way, more or less silently and in various activities related to the educational world, museum, training and so on, practical applications of augmented reality in a position to exploit its enormous potential. Of course, we are talking about applications where are the companies to be interested in technology, then to offer to users in certain circumstances such as a visit to a museum or an archaeological site, but that does not make it less interesting than the bombastic promises of virtual reality. Indeed, in some respects it is the augmented reality is already rooted in different realities, and not a promise for the future with uncertain developments.


Precisely in the context of augmented reality are placed new SmartGlass Epson Moverio BT-300, which in fact are the fourth generation of a family that has been very successful in recent versions, or after ver overcome some limitations of the first generation of youth Moverio BT100 , 2011. the new Moverio BT-300, available from October 2016, are equipped with the innovative digital display technology Si-OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) based on silicon, have an Intel Atom quad-core system Andoid OS 5.1 Lollipop and stand out to be the most SmartGlass market smaller and lighter. Of note is the presence of a camera to be 5Mpixel, with recording functions. Epson Moverio BT-300 will be available from October 2016 at an estimated retail price of € 800.00.

Asking the user for an example of the road probably SmartGlass the model cited more often would be Google Glass; Epson has yet to have convinced more and with good reason. There is already a wide range of applications, commercial or not, which makes the Moverio range very popular with business customers and independent developers. The Moverio BT-300 is a concrete example of wearable technology: they offer stereoscopic vision with improved performance and a real optical overlay on transparent lenses, allowing a complete perception of the surrounding reality. Two essential features for professional use and for new opportunities in consumer applications.

Valerie Riffaud-Cangelosi, Manager for the development of new markets for related products and wearable Epson EMEA, commented: "The Epson declared strategy is to focus mainly on the use of technology in the business and professional. Since 2011, thanks to the work done at the side of over 2,000 ISV partners, including several Italians, the Moverio line led value in various fields including engineering, education and training, medical, retail, tourism, culture and heritage conservation. Designed using our five years of experience in the technology of intelligent glasses, the BT-300 bring significant improvements to both developers and users. "

The link between Epson and Italy is also very strong. JoinPad, Italian company specializing in the development of Augmented Reality applications for the corporate world, he believed in Espon Moverio since the first generation. It is no coincidence that today, with the presentation of new Moverio BT-300, right Mauro Rubin (35, CTO of JoinPad) will partner with Epson to promote and disseminate knowledge of smart glasses Epson Moverio for augmented reality applications through meetings training, workshops, seminars.



Not only: the immense Italian cultural heritage lends itself well to being joined by an experience in augmented reality as you know Antonio Scuderi, founder and CEO of Artglass, acting as a bridge between the world of technology and the cultural heritage. There are already numerous practical applications of Moverio Espon and the number is expected to dramatically increase both in 2016 and for years to come.
