Athena Security pioneered augmented reality integration for physical security in 2018. Our AthenaVision AR alert glasses connect to weapons detection systems, AI X-ray platforms, and visitor management solutions in over 500 facilities nationwide.
AthenaVision integrates with your security infrastructure. Consumer electronics like Rokid glasses or other smart glasses for game consoles require officers to switch apps. Our AR glasses receive real time alerts from weapons detection, AI X-ray, visitor management, and telepresence platforms simultaneously.
AthenaVision AR alert glasses give security personnel instant, hands free access to threat notifications. Officers at screening checkpoints receive discreet visual alerts without pulling attention from surroundings. The system works where situational awareness matters most.
The technology displays information in the wearer’s field of view while maintaining clear line of sight. When weapons detection identifies threats or X-ray platforms flag prohibited items, officers see notifications instantly. Your security teams stay connected without tablets or phones.
Athena delivers capabilities other security solutions cannot match. Our platform addresses real-world challenges security personnel face while helping organizations meet federal compliance requirements.
Most weapons detection vendors lock you into proprietary equipment. That means limited choices and potential vendor dependence for years. Athena’s platform works with Apollo 500, Apollo 650, CEIA Opengate, Garrett, and Metrasens Ultra systems. You select hardware that matches your throughput requirements, budget constraints, and facility layout.
Athena is the only platform designed specifically around Department of Homeland Security best practices for patron screening. The system digitizes and enforces guidelines including documentation requirements, testing protocols, and secondary screening procedures. When auditors arrive, you have complete documentation.
We pioneered and patented technology that detects visitors attempting to bypass screening entirely. Traditional metal detectors only monitor the portal itself. Our computer vision algorithms monitor the entire screening area continuously. When individuals attempt to evade detection, security staff receive instant notifications. This proactive threat detection catches attempts other gun detection systems miss completely.
While competitors offer point solutions, Athena integrates weapons detection with visitor management, AI X-ray screening, telepresence security, and augmented reality alert glasses. When the X-ray system detects a threat, it automatically alerts AR glasses and triggers personalized hologram instructions. That integration creates layered security measures traditional systems cannot provide.

Security officers juggle multiple responsibilities at checkpoints, making it easy to miss critical system alerts. Traditional security setups force personnel to choose between engaging visitors and monitoring detection screens.
Officers reviewing visitor credentials or answering questions don’t notice weapons detection alerts on tablet screens across the checkpoint.
AR glasses display red alert notifications directly in officers’ sight, ensuring no threat goes unnoticed regardless of task focus.
Security personnel must look away from visitors to check X-ray monitors, creating gaps in visual surveillance and visitor engagement.
Hands free display keeps officers engaged with people while receiving instant notifications about screening results and threats.
Radio calls and text messages to notify officers about incidents create response delays of 30-60 seconds during active threats.
Real time alerts appear in AR display within 0.3 seconds of system detection, eliminating communication lag for faster response.
The device uses low-frequency electromagnetic technology, dynamic non-contact detection, and meets EMC electromagnetic radiation standards. It is safe for pregnant women, children, and other humans, as well as pacemakers and electronic devices.

Duke Health deployed our weapons detection platform across 21 screening locations. Memorial Hermann relies on our technology at facilities across Houston. Lamar Consolidated ISD installed 24 systems throughout their school district. Jefferson Regional Medical Center, Franciscan Health Olympia Fields, Indiana Regional Medical Center, and Parkwest Casino chose Athena for integrated entryway security.
Price varies based on the number of officers equipped, integration requirements, and facility size. We provide free security assessments to recommend the right solution for your budget. Most facilities see ROI within 12 months through improved threat response times and reduced incident rates from faster alert acknowledgment.
AthenaVision integrates specifically with Athena Security’s weapons detection, AI X-ray, and visitor management platforms. Unlike consumer AR glasses like Rokid Max or other eyewear adapted for security use, our system delivers purpose-built threat notifications with sub-second latency. Officers receive prioritized alerts from multiple security systems in a unified display, and the glasses work with prescription lenses for officers with vision requirements.
AthenaVision connects seamlessly with all Athena Security platforms including weapons detection systems, AI-assisted X-ray screening, and visitor management solutions. The glasses receive alerts through secure wireless connection to the Athena Control Center Cloud platform. Integration requires no modifications to your existing Athena security infrastructure, and the reliable connection functionality ensures consistent performance across your facility.
Implementation typically takes 2-3 days from delivery to full deployment. Our team configures AR glasses to connect with your Athena security systems, trains officers on proper use and alert response, and verifies reliable connection throughout your facility. Officers can begin using AR glasses immediately after initial training, with advanced features introduced during the two-day post-installation support period.
If your security officers manage visitor screening, operate multiple detection systems simultaneously, or patrol areas while monitoring alerts, AR glasses improve response effectiveness. Facilities with high visitor volume, multiple entry points, or officers working alone at checkpoints benefit most from hands free notification technology. Our assessment evaluates whether AR glasses address your specific operational challenges.
We provide comprehensive on-site training for all security personnel using AR glasses, covering alert recognition, system connectivity, battery management, and troubleshooting. Our team stays on-site for a minimum of two days post-installation to ensure comfortable adoption. Ongoing support includes 24/7 technical assistance, firmware updates, and replacement devices when needed. We also store training video resources in your support portal for future reference.
Yes. AthenaVision AR glasses accommodate prescription lenses for nearsighted users and officers with other vision requirements. Each pair can be fitted with prescription inserts suitable for your team’s needs. We work with your officers to ensure comfortable fit and clear display visibility regardless of eyewear requirements. The AR display remains clearly visible whether officers wear prescription inserts or use the glasses over contact lenses.
AthenaVision displays are optimized for security environments, not entertainment. Unlike Rokid glasses designed for watching video or game consoles, our AR display presents clear, bright alerts against varied background conditions. The picture quality prioritizes readability for threat notifications and text messages. Officers review alert information instantly without the eye strain common in consumer electronics designed for extended media viewing.
AthenaVision AR alert glasses focus exclusively on receiving and displaying notifications from your connected security systems. The glasses do not include a built in camera or video recording functionality. This design keeps the technology focused on alert delivery while protecting visitor privacy and avoiding the complexity of additional surveillance tools that officers would need to manage.
The glasses do not include voice control or AI assistant features. Officers interact with alerts through simple tap gestures on the frame to acknowledge notifications or clear the display. This approach keeps the interface intuitive and reliable during high-stress situations when talking to devices would be impractical. The streamlined functionality ensures officers stay focused on security response rather than managing complex device controls, and bright visual alerts remain the primary notification method regardless of ambient noise conditions.
You need a platform that catches threats before they enter your facility. Athena’s AI-powered system works with the hardware you choose while adding intelligent oversight that traditional metal detectors lack. Our technology helps you meet DHS best practices, reduce staffing gaps, and document every screening for compliance auditing.
