Shanghai subway to trial augmented reality smart glasses to ease passenger flow during China International Import Expo
The glasses are expected to help manage passenger flows between the Xujing East station in west Shanghai and the nearby National Exhibition and Convention Centre from next Tuesday to Saturday, online news site Thepaper.cn reported on Tuesday.
The smart glasses are fitted with cameras that are directly linked to the station’s central command platform, and will also make it easier for staff to locate and control sudden incidents, the report said.
Meanwhile, police forces in other parts of China – including Gansu, Henan and Yunnan provinces – have also been trying out AR smart glasses to help identify suspected criminals in public.
At least seven hit-and-run fugitives were caught by the technology, as well as 26 cases of identity fraud.
