If they can scale it down to normal safety goggle size, I could see something like this being a major asset in manufacturing - manufacturing the still utilizes humans, that is.
Yeah that's the way see it. A bit gimmicky. They can show l that info on a computer screen or youtube video LOL. It would be cool if you were say actually be looking at a floor model of the car that had a blank in place of the dash and you could then switch between what it would look like with certain options or from the exterior see where certain extras are on the car, etc. It needs to actually be interactive with a physical object.
There's a scene where the main character puts on an augmented reality headset that highlights parts of the plane for maintenance and construction workers. I think it's based off something Boeing had at the time, but I don't have a source for that.
issues with weight and battery life come to mind though.
In repetitive activities humans are being replaced regardless so it doesn't matter that much, but I guess that for maintenance of big machines or other complex activities where you have to find stuff and hammer at it there could certainly be an application for this.
Please review the first two paragraphs. I think there are some words missing or that need to be changed. I actually lost much of your meaning toward the middle/end of the second paragraph.
Hololens will make a good use case for corporations and professionals in construction, medical, architect, designing etc. Good enough for V.1 product, should get much better with V.2 and V.3 as FOV becomes better and costs go down.
Yeah exactly so. Better to release what they have now, bringing developers and customers onboard earlier in the lifecycle, and then continue to iterate.

Most of that seemed gimmicky (cool, but gimmicky) until this part:https://youtu.be/DilzwF90vec?t=2m7s

Michael Crichton talked about something like what's shown at that time stamp in Airframe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airframe_%28novel%29There's a scene where the main character puts on an augmented reality headset that highlights parts of the plane for maintenance and construction workers. I think it's based off something Boeing had at the time, but I don't have a source for that.

Very interesting Brett - thanks for the write up.Please review the first two paragraphs. I think there are some words missing or that need to be changed. I actually lost much of your meaning toward the middle/end of the second paragraph.

The list of Hololens grant recipients and their use cases are listed here; https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2015/11/11/meet-...Miller1331 - Tuesday, December 1, 2015 - link
