Developed by Recon Instruments, an Intel company, Recon Jet smart eyewear can leverage AiR Suite software to provide deskless professionals with new hands-free capabilities that can facilitate remote collaboration and accelerate problem solving.
"The AiR Suite for Enterprise was created for innovative companies like Recon Instruments who desire to give their customers hands-free access to real-time data and information to make smarter and quicker decisions in the workplace," said Alberto Torres, CEO of Atheer.

The AiR Suite for Enterprise is built on Atheer's AiR platform. This platform facilitates the types of high-value tasks commonly undertaken in the energy, industrial, health-care, insurance, and logistics/warehousing industries—and in any other field where deskless professionals operate. The Atheer AiR Suite for Enterprise enables deskless professionals to communicate with peers via video calls and to receive guidance in the form of real-time image annotations, making it possible to resolve problems more quickly and efficiently.
"A growing number of Fortune 1000 companies are looking to Atheer's proven augmented-reality computing platform as they strive to improve productivity and operational efficiency," said Dan Eisenhardt, General Manager of Head Worn Devices, Intel. "Because of its computing power and its rugged, ergonomic, and cost-effective design, Recon Jet represents a highly effective way for those companies to deploy and utilize Atheer's software toolkit. With Jet and AiR Suite, deskless workers can collaborate more efficiently, make smarter decisions, and more easily solve the complex problems found in today's industrial workplace."
Originally designed for endurance sports, Recon's Jet smart-eyewear platform delivers information on a display positioned just below the user's right eye, and it incorporates a stand-alone wearable computer with functionality comparable to that of a smartphone. Recon Jet features a 1 Ghz dual-core microprocessor, a 9-axis sensor suite, an onboard video camera, dual microphones, an integrated speaker, plus Bluetooth, Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth Smart), ANT+, and Wi-Fi connectivity. This functionality is integrated into a rugged, elegant, and highly adjustable performance-eyewear frame with a selection of swappable, impact-resistant lenses.
The AiR Suite for Enterprise comprises AiR Hub, a cloud-based management and collaboration console; AiR Designer, an intuitive drag-and-drop (GUI) task-flow-authoring tool; and AiR Flow, a smart eyewear application for task-flow interaction and seamless collaboration. Deskless professionals using AiR Flow can communicate with remote experts through video, real-time annotations, and voice, enabling them to resolve problems quickly while staying focused on the task at hand.
