Porsche Rolls Out Augmented Reality Glasses for Mechanics

Following a pilot program last year, Porsche AG has begun offering augmented reality glasses to technicians at the company’s U.S. service centers.

Porsche says the glasses can help reduce service times by 40%. Technicians can use the glasses, which are powered by Akron-based Atheer Inc.’s AiR Enterprise technology, to remotely access repair manuals with the information projected in front of them. They also can employ the devices to share data with other facilities and connect with Porsche's Atlanta-based support team.
