San Francisco, Jul 30, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Spartan HUD is creating the future of practical wearable technology with its innovative heads-up display helmets. Pre-order now at www.spartanhud.com
Spartan HUD, a Canadian startup and technology innovator, today unveiled its Spartan HUD Helmet (Flagship Edition), a sleek and powerful augmented reality helmet for working smarter, accessing critical information, and creating new entertainment experiences. The helmet augments the user's field of view display by featuring a powerful computing environment with a full day of battery life, all in a comfortable helmet form factor. Pre-orders start today, with a highly-anticipated crowdfunding campaign about to launch in the coming weeks.
"We're at the cusp of a new era of computing, where augmented reality technology is finally powerful and portable enough to take with us everywhere," says James Schuback, company founder and CEO. "With Spartan HUD we're working on solving some fundamental problems in this product space, such as screen visibility, visual comfort, price point, developer options, computer vision integration, and more. In particular, we wanted to make a product that was incredibly portable and easy to use. While others have made powerful options in the VR and mixed reality spaces, they often need to be tethered to an external computer and a power source. That's simply not practical for the type of augmented reality future we've been envisioning. Spartan HUD has a ton of exciting features and is completely wearable and portable."
A Powerful Array of Uses.
The Spartan HUD helmet has a number of compelling use cases already available out of the box, and that's not even counting what developers will do with the platform. Users can quickly and easily share their first-person views, record a full day's worth of activity, pull up video sources in their field of view (such as from drones, remote IP cameras, etc), and access real-time instruction videos, schematics, and more instantly. Many of these features are aimed at augmenting worker capabilities and improving remote work out of the office. "It's really exciting what we can already do, but what's really going to blow people away are the developer apps coming out." Spartan HUD considers its developer platform to be a key pillar of its business strategy, with many powerful options being available thanks to its technology architecture. Computer vision applications from the object and facial recognition, to night vision, infrared, and rear (and 360) views are all built into the platform's capabilities.
Redefining Wearable Computing.
Never has there been a wearable computing platform with as much capability as the Spartan HUD. With quad-core Intel computing, dedicated graphics, a fully-featured Windows 10 OS, WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS, USB/HDMI/VGA, storage expansions, and a modular architecture that can be expanded and upgraded, Spartan HUD is akin to a wearable desktop computer. And unlike other wearable platforms, Spartan HUD can be easily used as a full workstation, easily plugging into any monitor and power source. "We always thought it would be super cool to have your wearable device actually be the device you want to use as your regular computer. When you take off the helmet and plug it into a monitor, you can do anything you would normally do on your laptop - photoshop, gaming, Netflix, spreadsheets - you name it!"
Just in Time for a New World.
Nobody could have predicted the turbulent times of 2020 with the global pandemic causing many interruptions and changes to the way people work and live. "The trend of increasing remote work has made us have to be more self-reliant, and more reliant on our tools and technology. Now, more than ever, it's important to have the best tools for remote work and digital collaboration. Spartan HUD provides just that." Spartan HUD has several features making it perfectly suited to a post-pandemic world. The form factor itself acts as a face shield, providing the same COVID-protective features as many face shields and masks currently being used. Remote work capabilities are incredible with the Spartan HUD, providing native first-person video streaming and point-of-view sharing, allowing teammates and collaborators to feel like they are working side-by-side their colleagues.

"I've gotten a first-hand look at Spartan HUD's first release, and even in beta it looks and feels incredible. The product just makes sense - comfortable, no wires, and a ton of possibilities that I can wear anywhere I want. It's going to be a seriously fun developer experience, and I can already see how their industry applications are shaping up." - Marty Johnson, Technology Reviewer
