Hands-Free, Future Ready: Empowering the Industrial Workforce

In this episode, AR for Enterprise Alliance Executive Director Mark Sage sits down with Kristen Naeini, RealWear's Head of Sales for the Americas. RealWear is a leading force in voice-enabled, wearable technology for frontline workers.

Kristen shares her personal journey from engineering into enterprise XR, and how RealWear’s mission is rooted in enabling safer, more efficient work environments—especially in challenging industrial settings. Her insights underscore the power of AR/XR when delivered hands-free and heads-up, supporting use cases from oil rigs to factory floors.

Kristen also talks about the value of industry collaboration, common standards, and shared learning. She highlights the convergence of AI and AR to drive intelligent assistance in real time. She calls for the industry to double down on user-centric design, interoperability, and educating customers about practical, scalable deployments—not just flashy demos.
