Topcon, DAQRI Collaborate on Wearable Technology for Construction Environments

LIVERMORE, Calif. and CAPELLE A/D IJSSEL, The Netherlands  — Topcon Positioning Group and DAQRI have collaborated on wearable technology designed to change the way construction and survey professionals interface with the jobsite. Topcon and DAQRI — creator of the DAQRI Smart Helmet, an industrial-grade wearable solution that seamlessly connects humans to their work environments by providing information about the world around them — will work together to create a solution designed to make workers on the job safer and more productive through the use of augmented reality technologies.

Topcon and DAQRI will join forces to integrate DAQRI’s hardware and software solutions with Topcon positioning solutions. Powered by 4D Studio, DAQRI’s software platform for positioning, the partnership will allow construction workers to view information from their projects in the real-world work environment to make their workflows safer and more efficient.

The collaboration is designed to bring wearable technology to a wider AEC user-base; empowering the wearer with a hands-free tool that can be used on the job.
