1Overview
RealWear Navigator™ 500 is a hands-free, Android™ tablet-class wearable computer for
industrial workers. RealWear Navigator provides the foundation for Connected Worker
programs.
Use it in wet, dusty, hot, dangerous, and loud industrial environments.
A fully rugged head-mounted device, it optionally snaps into safety helmets or attaches to bump
caps and can be used with safety glasses or corrective eyewear.
The high-resolution micro display fits just below your line of sight and views like a 7-inch screen
at arm’s length. It is an industrial dashboard: there when you need it and out of your way when
you don’t.
RealWear Navigator works with a vast application ecosystem of over 200 leading apps from our
solution partners, each optimized for the micro display and voice-controlled navigation. That
means using simple voice commands with no scrolling, swiping, or tapping.
Use it for digital workflow, remote expert guidance, data Internet of Things (IoT) visualization,
inspections, audits, acceptance testing, verification, commissioning, training, visual assistance,
and document navigation.
