How the Smart Glass Market is Expanding |
COMMENTARY |
The above case studies are just two examples of companies using smart glasses to help improve productivity. More and more companies are turning to smart glass and solution vendors to provide them with the ability to give workers access to information hands-free. Ubimax’s customer base includes companies such as Audi, DHL, Samsung SDS, Ricoh, and Vodafone, and its partner base includes Daqri, Intel, ODG, Samsung, and Zebra. A large number of smart glass market players are seeing an increase in the number of companies looking to adopt their technology and to partner with them to develop new solutions for the market.
Concrete proof of ROI has been holding back augmented reality adoption, from the initial intense excitement and hype surrounding AR now to more realistic expectations. More case studies like that of John Deer and W&S Kunststoff are beginning to fill in the holes of uncertainty that investors have, and will begin to support the strong growth forecasted for AR over the next five years.
This ever-increasing development and adoption is helping to drive the number of enterprise wearable devices being shipped across the world, with enterprise smart glass shipments expected to reach nearly 30 million in 2022, as a CAGR of over 125%. As more companies realize the benefits of using smart glasses from the likes of Vuzix and Google (who recently publicly revealed its revamped Google Glass Enterprise Edition) with solutions from companies including Ubimax and Augmate, shipments will continue to see a boost. Companies are looking to providing workers with smart glasses to allow them to see instructions and information directly in their line of sight, as well as provide them with a hands free see-what-I-see communications interface, which will help to improve productivity, reduce errors, and ultimately save money.
