1 min read

RealWear has unveiled the RealWear Navigator 520, its next generation rugged assisted reality headset for frontline professionals.

Building on the platform features delivered in the RealWear Navigator 500, the 520 delivers an upgraded and fully redesigned viewing system, known as HyperDisplay, offering bigger, sharper and bolder images for what the company describes as enhanced “viewability” for frontline professionals looking to use the device for expanded use cases.

The new HyperDisplay in RealWear Navigator 520 swaps out the Core Display in standard definition (SD) found in RealWear Navigator 500, offering a 20% larger high definition (HD) screen in 720p with twice the pixels, an eye box that is 5X larger, and improved eye relief (the maximum distance a user’s eye can be from the display to view the content easily). 

Commenting Rama Oruganti, Chief Product Officer, RealWear, said, “With the launch of RealWear Navigator 520 we’ve continued to put ourselves in the shoes of a modern frontline professional who wants to stay connected and empowered. This product brings together a year of major improvements and innovations on the RealWear platform – devices, accessories, apps and cloud-based control. This launch has set an even higher bar for a full stack enterprise-level wearable solution in the industrial wearables market.”

RealWear Navigator 520 includes a revolutionary modular platform (compatible with the new thermal module) with an upgradeable 48 megapixel (MP) camera system, a hot-swappable battery, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and an optional 4G modem.

The user interface includes patented noise-cancelation, with support in 23 languages and dialects.

RealWear has more than 200 optimised partner apps for remote collaboration, workflow and computer vision.
