@nutbastard: Yup. If you do everything right, you have a virtual romantic evening with a hott e-lady-of-the-night. If you screw up, you get the same virtual romance holodeck experience except your virtual pee pee cannot get an e-rection, and you are virtually humiliated. And then when you try to explain it to her, she just laughs at you for telling a pair of glasses that you've just had too much wine. #ar
@NightInfinity: Yes, that was a concept video, but I'm very happy to hear that it's been put to real life application at last. I think this is one of the better immediate uses for AR tech.
As something like an engine is assembled in a relatively standard way, it should be easy for the software to recognize parts, and what it is looking at - I also think it would be pretty easy to slap a sticker with a glyph onto parts to ID them and give a little orientation data to a system like this if needed. #ar
Problem is that mechanics need their hands to be able to go in tight spots.
Hell, what happens when you slip trying to loosen/tighten something and break it? "Guess I'm not fixing this today!" . How about how easy it'll be to smuggle these to the enemy? lol! #ar
@CoHPhasor: They're written at an eight grade English level. How much easier can you get? Though you have a point, half the shit I used to have to fix on aircraft way never in a good place to stick your hands. You usually ended up doing it by feel, then using an inspection mirror to see if you did it right. That's the problem with engineers, they don't have to work on the stuff they draw up on paper. Yes, my aircraft was designed on paper, not computers..... #ar
@Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: I was thinking the same thing man.
It actually makes me look forward to getting home later and seeing my #dog go nuts as soon as I walk through the door. I wish I could say my wife was as excited to see me walk through that same door...
@UnderLoK: (Insert lame overused joke about your wife being as excited as the dog when I walk through your door here)
Seriously though, my wife is usually pretty damn happy to see me when I come home.
The cats however...are usually at the top of the steps meowing at me to feed them. At least they are when they're not trying to trip me and cause me to fall to my death. #sniff
