LAS VEGAS, March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) announced today that it is collaborating with DAQRI to integrate the DAQRI Smart Helmet with Trimble's mixed-reality application suite to enable outdoor and on-site support for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operations (AECO) and natural resources markets. The collaboration is part of Trimble's Mixed-Reality Pilot Program.

Live demonstrations of Trimble's mixed-reality applications running on the DAQRI Smart Helmets will be showcased at ConExpo 2017, one of the world's largest international exhibitions for the construction industry. Trimble is located in the Las Vegas Convention Center North Hall #N-12067.

The progress made with mixed-reality technology and its potential to transform on-site workflows has placed increased demands on wearable technology, which comply with safety regulations. Integrated with Trimble mixed-reality solutions, the DAQRI Smart Helmet can provide the needed requirements and help to improve work efficiency and safety in construction sites, off-shore facilities and mining environments.

"Mixed reality enables our customers to interact with digital content in the context of the physical environment. Our customers would like to extend the use of this technology as part of their day-to-day on-site work. It is our mission and part of our hardware agnostic approach to provide them a variety of solutions, which support their needs," said Aviad Almagor, director of Trimble's Mixed-Reality Program.

DAQRI Smart Helmet is designed to work in enterprise settings and displays real-time information based on the user's surroundings. "We are very excited to collaborate with Trimble and to showcase the DAQRI Smart Helmet at ConExpo," said Roy Ashok, DAQRI's chief product officer. "DAQRI's proprietary, augmented-reality technologies and Trimble's mature set of mixed-reality applications can enable workers to be safer and more productive in the field.
