Toshiba partners with Atheer to provide enterprise-grade Augmented Reality (AR) software platform for Toshiba's new dynaEdge™ AR Smart Glasses

Using AiR Enterprise, the new Toshiba dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses offer an ideal solution for industrial applications such as field service, dealer service, manufacturing and repair operations, assembly line management, technician and expert training, warehouse picking, asset inspection and repair as well as remote visualization and support.

The award-winning AiR Enterprise AR solution, which will be available in the second quarter of 2018 on Toshiba dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses, is an integrated suite of capabilities designed to meet the needs of today's industrial enterprises including:

• See-What-I-See (SWIS) video conferencing through remote communications
• User point of view (POV) photo and video capture using the embedded camera
• Configurable step-by-step task guidance (with touchless, gesture-based interactions)
• Barcode scanning and info display
• Detailed task and workflow process analytics
• Easy integration with other enterprise systems
• Enterprise grade security: on-device, in-transit, and at-rest.

"We are delighted to partner closely with Toshiba on the development of a uniquely-powerful implementation of our award-winning AiR Enterprise application optimized for Windows 10 on Toshiba's new dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses," said Atheer co-founder and CEO Soulaiman Itani. "We believe that this relationship will provide a huge boost for enterprise customers who have been waiting for exactly this kind of Windows 10-based enterprise AR solution from a world-class hardware manufacturer."

Toshiba's new dynaEdge™ AR Smart Glasses packages together the company's new dynaEdge AR100 Head Mounted Display (HMD) with its dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC for a completely wearable PC system maximizing mobility, productivity and security.

"Partnering with Atheer is a natural fit and allows Toshiba to deliver an enterprise-ready, Augmented Reality solution for users of our new and powerful dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses," said Carl Pinto, vice president, marketing and engineering, Client Solutions Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. "We are particularly excited by the fact that Atheer brings its award-winning AiR Enterprise software and its unique touchless, gesture-based interactions to our smart glasses. Throughout our collaboration, Atheer has proved to us that it has the experience and technology leadership to be the right AR solution provider in this emerging space."   

The implementation of AiR Enterprise for the Toshiba dynaEdge™ AR Smart Glasses marks the first time it has been offered natively on Windows 10, although Atheer has been providing users of Android-based smart glasses with industrial augmented reality solutions since 2012.
