What is IDEye?
IDEye is a cloud service that facilitates communication between those working onsite and those working remotely through video and audio captured on smart glasses. On-site workers who are wearing the glasses are able to share real-time images, videos, and audio from their field of view. This enables the sharing of remote work instructions and allows for remote work confirmation, facilitating better and more effective communication on both ends. These hands free smart glasses allow for communication without the hassle of using other devices such as tablets and smartphones.
