When choosing smart glasses, it’s important to consider what purpose the device will serve. To make the glasses usable in industrial conditions, therefore, look at other parameters such as resistance to noise, dust or temperature changes, as well as comfort for wearing them throughout the shift. This is because wearing comfort affects the acceptance of the technology and the final success of its deployment.
