Yeah, this seems like a concern.
Already the biggest data/reality hurdle is not visualization but record accuracy - Amazon pickers get quick-and-easy guides to where products are, but face massive delays when something is mislabeled and they have to scan every item in the bin they're directed to.
Fancy HUD systems may be worthwhile for a handful of high-end industrial tasks that value time very highly and can justify custom purchases (power plants?), but for most applications boosting accuracy and system usability sounds better than investing in new methods of data access.
- abakker 10y agoI agree; one counter example is that AR might be the catalyst for improvement of an antique process. The Arizona Public Utilities commission (disclosure, my company helped them with this initiative) has replaced paper processes with AR on phones + QR codes. The real value is probably in converting an antique paper-based process with a database, but the AR proved to be the defining interface for their field workers.
