Voice-first work

The RealWear Navigator 520 uses RealWear’s WearHF hands-free interface with four digital microphones and active noise cancellation. Voice recognition is designed to work in noise levels up to 100 dBA.

  • 100 dBA control
  • WearHF interface

This helps your team open apps, capture photos, join calls and follow instructions while keeping both hands free for tools, machines and inspection tasks.

Rugged deployment

The headset is IP66-rated, MIL-STD-810H certified and built for industrial environments. RealWear lists resistance against dust, water, drops and operating conditions from -20°C to 45°C on the current shop page.

  • IP66 rated
  • MIL-STD-810H

This supports companies that need wearable devices for production floors, utilities sites, warehouses, field service and other areas where standard smart glasses are too fragile.

Remote collaboration

The RealWear Navigator 520 supports see-what-I-see workflows using its high-resolution camera, display and audio system. It is built for remote expert support, digital workflows and visual documentation.

  • 48 MP camera
  • 720p HD display

This helps your organisation reduce unnecessary travel, speed up troubleshooting and give less experienced workers direct access to expert knowledge in the field.
