Toshiba's Client Solutions Division (CSD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today announced the full availability of its dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses solution. With a starting price point of $1,899.99, the company's dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses are Toshiba's first completely wearable AR solution to combine the power of a Windows 10 Pro PC with the robust feature set of industrial-grade smart glasses. Toshiba's new AR solution includes the dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC, dynaEdge AR100 Head Mounted Display (HMD), Lens-Less Frame, USB-C Cable with Cable Clip and carrying case.

For customers or application developers looking to design specialized software for the smart glasses, Toshiba will offer Developer's Kits with two different configurations - Basic and Performance to best meet a variety of industrial applications. Pricing starts at $2,399.99.


Both Developer's Kits will feature the following hardware: dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC, dynaEdge AR100 Head Mounted Display (HMD), Lens-Less Frame, USB-C Cable with Cable Clip and carrying case. The kits will also include Toshiba's Vision DE Suite (One-Year, Single-User License), SDK, Management Console and App Launcher. To differentiate to the two kits, Toshiba will offer processor, memory and SSD options for the dynaEdge DE-100 Mobile Mini PC.

Toshiba developed its dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses solutions to meet the performance demands of enterprise workplaces through the adoption of 6th Generation Intel Core M Processors, Intel HD Graphics and Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 802.11ac Wi-Fi . These technologies allow enterprises to integrate the Toshiba AR solution into their existing infrastructure.

"Today marks the culmination of months of hard work resulting in a solution designed to assist businesses mobilize their frontline and field workers and improve business outcomes with powerful PC capabilities that can go anywhere they go without being obstructive," said Carl Pinto, vice president, marketing and engineering, Client Solutions Division, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc.

The company's proprietary software, Vision DE Suite, is designed to realize the essential functionality of Toshiba's innovative AR solution. For fast and easy navigation, device functions are grouped into three color-coded menu categories: Communications, File Viewer and Tools. From these three menus, users can take photos, record and stream live video, save and retrieve documents, access diagrams, receive text messages and communicate through live video calls using Skype. This easy-to-use approach to navigating a robust solution elevates productivity and improves efficiency. In addition to a full suite of on-device services, the software offers IT manager and organizations with file synchronization and centralized device management capabilities. Toshiba Vision DE Suite reimagines productivity and efficiency for enterprises.

Designed for enterprise customers, Toshiba's new AR solution provides Document Viewing, Live Video Calls, See-What-I-See, Photo/Video Capture, Alerts/Messaging, making it ideal for a variety of uses cases, including Maintenance, Remote Expert, Manufacturing, QA Inspection & Audit, Logistics, Training and Knowledge Transfer.

This would help a lot in work environments. The augmented reality would come in handy and increase production. Google Glass failed because there was no clear market for it, too expensive, bad performance, and privacy/piracy concerns. Even though it's more expensive, dynaEdge could succeed, because it's aimed at the work/enterprise segment, where there's more control. I would be worried about corporate security, because the footage from all the people wearing them would give up all your secrets to anyone who hacked your system. Not to mention employees stealing/selling info for income enhancement.

Google Glass 2 has been a roaring success in industrial applications: https://www.wired.com/story/google-glass-2-is-here/

I still want a GooGlass (or literally anything of a similar purpose!) at a more consumer pricetag though - I want to try out and see how useful always-on HUDs are on my walking/driving person vs phone-screening crap.

I don't think I'd like dealing with all the hostility. Paranoid people and borderline psychos have attacked people wearing Goggle Glass (2 cases, both in San Francisco). Everywhere else, they just draw dirty looks from half the folks you meet. But maybe that's more about the wealth divide, and a $200 model would alleviate those feelings.

Some of that was also the lack of a recording light, iirc. Plus, since I'm not in SF, and give zero fucks about the looks people look at me with, I'd be fine. Besides, I'm not exactly someone who goes out all that much either...
