Qwake Technologies has created a system that allows operators in hazardous environments, such as Firefighters, to see and think more clearly in emergency situations where their vision would otherwise be obscured by smoke and fire while good decisions and fast action are a matter of life and death. The technology had been proven, but product development was not yet complete. Alloy developed the mission critical mechanism for deploying the AR vision lens, partnering with Qwake Technologies to explore a variety of concepts and build an initial batch of working units for real world firefighter tests.
After successful testing, Qwake has also been tapped by the US Air Force to adapt its augmented reality technology, C-THRU, to enhance navigation, communication, and coordination capabilities of airborne and ground-based personnel during mission critical tasks.
