This is the second misconception I've read in this thread so far. I was at a conference in finland this year and a huge company called ABB was there with a holo lens demo. They had a hololens you could wear to see how to repair some mechanical unit. The hololens was able to recognise the unit from its previous mapping of the object and project AR on to it. They moved the unit and it still was able to almost instantaneously detect it.
The technology is here. It's ready. And it's already in use.
- modeless 10y agoHololens can display 3D annotations that have been prearranged on a mostly static, previously mapped environment. It cannot map moving or non-rigid objects in dynamic environments and it cannot identify or track small objects that you are holding in your hands, unless maybe you stick giant fiducial markers on them.
- doublerebel 10y agoIt can't do that on its own, but it's certainly possible to write an app for Hololens that does. I can't confirm writing such an app at this time.
- sillysaurus3 10y agoIt's probably best to be skeptical of a demo.
- tim333 10y agoI tried a hololens in real life to measure the distance between bowling balls (English style bowls) and it worked really well superimposing an arrow between the balls with the distance. For me it was more impressive than glass which when I tried it mainly had me wondering why the photos were so much fuzzier than you could take with you phone.
- IshKebab 10y agoPerhaps but I've used both a Hololens and Google Glass, and the Hololens is light-years ahead. It is easily capable of the 'AR repair' application. Glass on the other hand was very 'meh'. The voice interface was horribly unreliable (think 2010-level speech recognition), and it is really just a convenient small display, not proper AR.
