AI-powered smart glasses as a digital assistant in the workplace

Part of the solution lies in ‘workable work’. Technology can help to achieve this by providing support at exactly the right moment. Today, that support is still often provided via paper instructions or static screens, disconnected from the place and time when the employee actually needs it.

on the Flemish shop floor to maximise usability and increase acceptance, whilst ensuring data sovereignty and privacy remain guaranteed?
