Thermal by FLIR powers new ruggedised mobile phone and assisted reality wearable solution
30/04/2024
Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, has announced two new Thermal by FLIR products with collaborators Blackview and RealWear. The new rugged BL9000 Pro 5G mobile phone from Blackview and the new RealWear Navigator Z1 assisted reality wearable feature the FLIR Lepton 3.5 thermal micro camera module.
The new Blackview BL9000 Pro features MyFLIR Pro, which is said to be the most advanced user application in the market. The upgraded app empowers BL9000 Pro users with the VividIR patented image processing capability, along with advanced features such as temperature alerts, isotherms and multi-spectral dynamic imaging (MSX) intensity adjustment to view thermal images in greater detail. The BL9000 Pro can also interface with the Teledyne FLIR Mobile software development kit (SDK) for Android OS, allowing for approved third-party apps and enterprise software integration.
“This is the only handset on the market with the latest Android 14, FLIR Lepton 3.5, 5G connectivity and MyFLIR Pro advanced thermal ecosystem offerings, making it the ultimate smartphone device for getting the job done in harsh environments,” said David Xu, Founder, General Manager and CEO of Blackview. “We are proud to launch an enhanced, ruggedised handset that provides a masterful blend of practicality and innovation in technology and design.”
RealWear’s Navigator Z1 hands-free headset is the first intrinsically safe assisted reality thermal product built for oil & gas professionals in production environments, it is claimed. The Z1 allows for hands-free communication and two-way data sharing that revolutionises knowledge sharing while tackling operational inefficiencies and mitigating safety risks. RealWear’s hardware and software, enabled by the power of the FLIR Lepton 3.5, provide streamlined workflows in the most hazardous of environments.
“It is always impressive to see the new ways that our innovative Thermal by FLIR collaborators integrate our camera modules and use our experience to develop cutting-edge, high-value products for industry and consumers,” said Mike Walters, Vice President, Uncooled Thermal Imaging Camera Cores, Teledyne FLIR.
Thermal by FLIR programme collaborators benefit from more than four decades of dedicated thermal industry expertise, gaining assistance across every stage of product exploration from development to marketing.
