Xsens, innovator in professional inertial sensor and 3D motion tracking, is applying its technology to a new venture by construction engineering company Dura Vermeer and augmented reality software developer Recreate—the Engineering Building Mixed Reality (EBMR) helmet. The helmet provides (for the first time) a 3D, real-time, holographic rendering of an architect’s plan, overlaid on the user’s view of the building site. Standing on an empty building site, the user can see the structure correctly positioned, as though it has already been built.Read about this innovative helmet here.
