Reality Mobile® Announces Availability of Beta Version of RealityVision® Sensor Gateway™
Sensor Gateway Allows Sensor Outputs and Associated Visual Data to be Pushed Directly to RealityVision Users at the Time of a Triggering Event
HERNDON, Va. – (June 29, 2011) – Reality Mobile®, a Virginia-based technology company delivering enterprise-class real-time mobile video collaboration solutions, today announced the availability of the beta version of their new Sensor Gateway™ for RealityVision®.
RealityVision allows enterprise users to collectively visualize high-value assets and share data with colleagues anywhere in the world. The gateway is another example of the company’s commitment to translating important information, in real-time, into visual data that organizations can immediately use and leverage. The gateway leverages the full RealityVision enterprise functionality, so that all visual information created through the gateway is delivered securely to remote users, archived for forensic purposes, and available for immediate redistribution and analysis within the enterprise.
Enterprise organizations and government agencies rely on sensors to manage key operations and processes, including security, intrusion detection, SCADA systems and other industrial controls, and many other applications. The RealityVision gateway extends existing sensor notification systems by enabling event information from sensors to be communicated directly to RealityVision users on their mobile devices at the time the trigger is activated. For example, an array of sensors may be monitoring condition information, such as temperature, vibration, humidity, radiation levels or leak detection. That information can be augmented with additional real-time data, including video from IP cameras located near the scene. By leveraging RealityVision’s existing Screencasting capability, sensor data being rendered on a PC screen within an enterprise control room can also be shared automatically as a live visual stream, allowing remote employees and control center operators to visualize the relevant information at the same time.
Enterprises deploy a vast array of sensors. To avoid information overload, the gateway allows the enterprise to easily customize what sensors will be made available for notification by individual employees. A supervisor tracking an incident, for example, may only wish to receive notifications from sensors 12, 14 and 20 for a designated period of time, while preserving the flexibility to add or remove other sensors as needed. In the case where multiple sensor outputs are being rendered on a single PC screen, a remote user may want to view all or a portion of the PC screen.
Other examples of how the notification gateway could be leveraged for both government agencies and commercial enterprises can be found on the company’s web site.
“Many enterprises have asked us to help them better visualize sensor data, particularly at the mobile edge, and we are very pleased to make our sensor gateway available to them and to our strategic partners,” said Brian Geoghegan, EVP and Chief Product Officer, Reality Mobile. “The gateway is a very powerful extension to the RealityVision platform, it leverages our existing patented processes and it furthers our goal to help the enterprise map delivery of critical event information to the right personnel, wherever they may be located.”
"Standard sensor notification systems by themselves can only provide a static snapshot of what has already happened," added David Rensin, co-founder and Chief Scientist, Reality Mobile. "The RealityVision Sensor Gateway enhances existing alerts by showing you events in real-time as they continue to unfold."
Existing customers and other organizations interested in becoming Beta testers for RealityVision’s Sensor Gateway should visit the company’s website and complete a request form.
