AR Smart Glasses as the premiere Windows-based, enterprise-grade AR
solution on the market.
Dynabook plans to demonstrate Vision DE Suite 3.0 on its award-winning
AR smart glasses at AWE 2019 this week in Santa Clara, Calif.
“We continue to add important features to our Vision DE Suite to create
a complete AR Solution designed to improve efficiencies for enterprises
with frontline and field workers,” said Phillip Osako, vice president,
marketing and engineering, Dynabook Americas, Inc. “The addition of Task
Flow capabilities demonstrates our commitment to understanding our
customers’ needs in the wearable enterprise marketplace.”
Vision DE Suite 3.0 is a software engine designed to maximize the
functionality of the Dynabook innovative AR solution called dynaEdge™ AR
Smart Glasses. These smart glasses are a completely wearable AR solution
and combine the power of a Windows 10 Pro PC with the robust feature set
of industrial-grade smart glasses. Designed for enterprise customers,
Dynabook’s dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses packages together the company’s
dynaEdge AR100 Head Mounted Display (HMD) with its dynaEdge Mobile Mini
PC for a completely wearable PC system maximizing mobility, productivity
and security without compromising flexibility.
Dynabook engineered the task flow with hands-free task flow, task flow
creation, task flow assignment and task flow reporting capabilities.
These features are intuitive, easy-to-use and ideal for industries
requiring hands-free, step-by-step instructions, such as maintenance
instructions, manufacturing standard operating procedures and training.
To develop task flows, the Vision DE Suite 3.0 task flow creator is a
simple, drag-and-drop application that allows task flow designers to
easily incorporate audio, video, photo and PDFs to create highly
detailed instructions and training materials.
Vision DE Suite 3.0 offers fast and easy navigation by grouping device
functions into three color-coded menu categories: Communications, File
Viewer and Tools. From these three menus users can take photos, record
and stream live video, retrieve reference materials, access diagrams and
receive text messages. This easy-to-use approach to navigating a robust
solution elevates productivity and improves efficiency. In addition, the
software suite includes the Dynabook Mobile Management Console which
offers IT managers and organizations advanced synchronization and
centralized device management capabilities. Vision DE Suite delivers the
productivity and efficiency critical to enterprises.
Vision DE Suite 3.0 also delivers the following features Live Video
Collaboration Call, Photo Capture, Video Capture, PDF, Photo and Video
Viewer, Real-Time File Synchronization, Remote Management Console,
Flexible Navigation/Control, Voice Commands and Real-Time Alerts.
Dynabook will offer a version of Vision DE Suite 3.0 without Task Flow
capabilities.

stream1 their work with the helpful eyes of a remote expert
or supervisor watching and available to provide real-time advice or
instructions to ensure a job is completed properly. Photos can also be
sent with annotations during the live stream to assist with the task.
Photo Capture
This feature allows users to activate and control the high-resolution
camera on the head mounted display to capture and store photos on the
device or the network with ease. This capability is essential for any
diagnostics, quality assurance or archival purposes.
Video Capture

the point-of-view (POV) of the worker wearing the dynaEdge AR Smart
Glasses to create a unique perspective for training purposes as well as
situational assessments.
PDF, Photo and Video Viewer
This feature allows users to find, open and view manuals, diagrams or
videos stored on the dynaEdge AR Smart Glasses solution. With this
information readily available and hands-free via the HMD eliminates the
need for paper-based resources to improve productivity and reduce
operating costs.
Real-Time File Synchronization
A component of Vision DE Suite 3.0, the Dynabook Mobile Management
Console provides two-way sync capabilities for organizations. From a
centralized location, an IT professional can push work-related data to
the entire team or specific users. Frontline workers can also upload
data captured in the field to a centralized location.

Vision DE Suite 3.0 can manage multiple users and dynaEdge devices via
the Dynabook Mobile Management console. Administrators can create and
manage individual profiles, monitor asset location and usage to ensure
improved productivity, labor efficiency and operational flexibility.
