Energy, utility and telecom companies have started embracing innovation and are moving to adopt the latest technologies. As these companies bring new technologies to their field users, there is strong interest in adopting augmented reality in damage prevention.  

As a worker in the field, wouldn’t it be powerful to see what’s buried underground without digging? With innovative technologies such as augmented reality, it’s possible.
