In fact, companies in those sectors have already run pilots demonstrating the value of using the technology. Enterprise software firm SAP beta tested two head-mounted apps and is now planning to release them in October to help warehouse pickers and service technicians increase productivity and safety. The apps provide navigation capabilities, and can display 3-D models to assist with repairs.
Virgin Atlantic similarly concluded that Google Glass had enabled its employees to provide improved customer service during a beta test. The devices provided quickly accessible and current data on its customers’ itineraries, the weather and other flight information. Offices, meanwhile, lag as they find a way to use wearables to make workers more efficient.
