Following Symbol Technology's lead, rugged wireless device manufacturer LXE Inc. yesterday revealed its first hands-free wearable computer aimed primarily at warehouse picking applications. Due to ship in early 2007, the HX2 will include a laser scanner and a 2D imager, among other features the company will make public shortly before the product's release, LXE officials said. Users will have several battery options depending upon the application -- one of the features that distinguishes the HX2 from the competing Symbol device, said Mark Dessommes, marketing director at LXE, in an interview with Managing Automation. The computer will work with a variety of scanners currently on the market from other vendors, although Dessommes said LXE will begin to offer several scanner options of its own concurrent with the wearable's release, and plans to offer a Bluetooth-enabled ring scanner in a future release.
