Pixavi Introduces Explosion-Proof Wearable Camera
In many environments where Augmented Reality can provide benefits, explosion-proof devices, such as cameras and displays, are a requirement. Bartec Pixavi, a Norwegian company specializing in R&D of ATEX and Ex certified video conferencing solutions, cameras and Wi-Fi infrastructure, has introduced the latest version of its explosion-proof, WiFi-enabled wearable camera that could be valuable to systems integrators of AR solutions.
The product page on the Pixavi website says that the Orbit X is lightweight, battery-operated, designed to be mounted at eye level and to transmit the “eyesight” of users in the field. The Orbit X streams 1080p video wirelessly from users in zone 1 hazardous areas while also supporting duplex audio communication over WiFi. It can also record images and video locally.
Use cases range from inspection and maintenance to emergency response.
