Augumenta from Oulu (Finland):
Augumenta's Smart Panel was developed as an industrial HMI for machine control. The display surface itself is passive - the user interface is generated in personalized data glasses. Input is made via gesture recognition. The possible display sizes range from a few inches to the size of a house wall. The layout of the user interface is selected based on the available projection surface, which an image sensor in the data glasses recognizes via a machine-readable ID that is attached to the passive display surface.
