Utrack: AR headset features thermal camera, sonar and endoscope modes

The Utrack is a new AR headset that comes with a twist, as it’s essentially a thermal imaging camera. Accordingly, these glasses can probably identify objects with a temperature that differs from their surroundings with relative ease. This could be relevant for searching missing persons or potentially unauthorized intruders, but also for hunters or for detecting thermal bridges on buildings.

According to the manufacturer, the infrared sensor has a resolution of 384 x 288 pixels and can detect temperature differences of 25 mK, which is significantly less than one Kelvin. A range of up to 1,640 yards is advertised, as are other AI features.

Moreover, the new Utrack AR headset can project an 80-inch AR image and has a smooth refresh rate of 60Hz. The gadget can also be used with prescription glasses. The 3,500mAh battery should sport a battery life of up to 3 hours, and thanks to a buffer memory, the main battery can be swapped out on the fly without any downtime.

Additionally, these AR glasses can be used with sonar or an endoscope for fishing or repairs, such as in pipelines. It could also be useful as a vlogging camera. As part of the crowdfunding campaign, backers can reserve one unit of the Utrack AR glasses in return for a pledge of $1,498. The aforementioned sonar and endoscope will cost extra. Deliveries are expected to start in September, but the usual financial risks of crowdfunding campaigns also apply in this case.
