A kind of audacity to stand up to the giants, especially when it comes to augmented reality glasses. We already have Hololens from Microsoft and Google Glass is being marketed as an enterprise device. but ThirdEye thinks it’s up to the challenge.
ThirdEye is a branch of a project for the Ministry of Defense. Stealth, it has been making steady progress in smart augmented reality glasses and the AI software space that goes with it.
ThirdEye glasses may look like safety goggles — and they are, to an extent — but they do so much more than that. The company’s second generation X2 MR allows people to access documents or diagrams hands-free while working on a project. Live digital information can be displayed in the user’s field of view; It can also stream live footage to a tablet or phone, allowing colleagues to provide direction or oversight on an activity. There is also a low-resolution thermal sensor built into the goggles. And they are light.
The company soon found a customer in the military who was using the technology for covert stuff. But, ThirdEye CEO Nick Cherukuri told TechCrunch that the glasses can also be used for more mundane applications, such as helping technicians perform repairs in settings remotely.

And this is just the beginning. ThirdEye technology has become especially important during the pandemic; The glasses allowed for clearer treatment options and diagnoses without so many people having to contact each other. ThirdEye saw its opportunity and developed HIPAA-compliant AR telehealth software to go along with it.
In August 2022, the UK’s National Health Service launched a trial where community nurses wore glasses when making home visits. By transcribing the patient’s visit history directly into your notes (with your consent), the company says its glasses can reduce the time nurses spend on paperwork instead of engaging with their patients.
The glasses could also help reduce the need for doctor visits or even hospital stays by allowing healthcare professionals to share live images with colleagues, giving patients the opportunity to get second opinions or more detailed diagnoses. Thermographic sensor can also be used to assess wound healing.
