Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has launched its smart app on Apple Vision Pro glasses, becoming the first utility to provide its services through this technology that combines augmented and virtual reality.
DEWA is making use of the various capabilities and features of Apple Vision Pro to enhance customer services. The move supports DEWA’s efforts to enhance smart adoption and provide its services to all customers through various digital channels.
Through Apple Vision Pro, DEWA provides a wide range of services and features. These include accessing the app using the UAE Pass, a username and password, or through eyeprint authentication. The app identifies the main customer account with the ability to choose the account to enquire about and view visual data using the virtual touch and drag feature.
Additionally, the customer can view bill details and pay using Apple Pay, access the Smart Living dashboard, as well as view annual, monthly, and daily consumption reports compared to similar homes through the My Sustainable Living Programme. The smart app also provides each customer with an individual footprint as well as customised tips to enhance consumption efficiency.
