EdgeX using an Augmented Reality (AR) Interface

(no audio) During a recent local hackathon, the Dell client CTO team completed a unique interface for interacting with sensors and devices that interoperate through the EdgeX framework. The result was an amazing augmented reality (AR) interface to observe the readings coming from sensors and actuate the devices with hand signals. Take a look at the video above demonstrating several things being controlled by the Dell AR app integrated with EdgeX. This demo shows connectivity and control of a Modbus motor, SNMP managed Patlite, and Bosch BLE sensor pack through the AR headset and EdgeX, but imagine how the same principles could be used by support technicians inside of a complex factory control room, workers performing field maintenance on machines, sensor-enabled distribution centers, or even working within your company’s own server room. That’s what could happen as we, the IoT community, collaborate on common interoperability frameworks like EdgeX, which makes it easier for application providers to focus their efforts on creating amazing interfaces among other valuable innovations.
