The Saudi Arabia government through its Transport General Authority (TGA) is set to introduce an upgraded version of virtual glasses for the upcoming 1445 Hajj season, following the success of last year's trial,
The Saudi Press Agency on Sunday reports that those advanced glasses utilize augmented reality (AR) technology to improve the quality and efficiency of transport services for pilgrims.
The next-generation virtual glasses enable field inspectors to perform quick and thorough inspections.
In just six seconds, inspectors can validate vehicle legality, driver compliance, document inspections, and report any infractions to the data and control centre, according to SPA.
This results in a significant 600% reduction in vehicle inspection time, ultimately improving compliance rates and the overall standard of transport services for pilgrims.
By streamlining inspections and increasing efficiency, the virtual glasses contribute to a more seamless and hassle-free pilgrimage experience.
This allows pilgrims to concentrate on their religious obligations with greater ease and peace of mind.
