VR Glasses
Type: component
PROBLEM
The operator needs to see, hear, and feel present at the toll booth without being there.
SOLUTION
The VR Glasses are the operator-side wearable display unit of the Turn Pike telepresence system, a standalone mixed-reality headset providing a live stereoscopic feed from the Turn Pike VR Camera at the toll booth, rendered at sufficient resolution and refresh rate that the operator perceives themselves as present at the booth window during the encounter. The glasses include integrated spatial audio so the operator hears the toll environment as it sounds at the booth, including wind, engine noise, and whatever the driver is saying or not saying. Head tracking in the glasses drives the motorized hinge array on the Turn Pike unit, so when the operator turns to look at the approaching vehicle the camera and tablet face follow. The glasses ship with the Turn Pike unit but are worn by the operator at home. They are not weatherproof because they are inside. A charging dock is included. Whether the operator wears them while on the couch, at a desk, or standing in their kitchen is between the operator and their union agreement.
