I'm looking for a HUD solution for monitoring. I spend all day with some numbers and status displays on a screen, and I'd like to just be able to wander around and not have to look at my phone all the time.
What are my hardware options? I'm able to write to any SDK they give, but preferably I'd just ping a website as http or websocket and show the stuff on glasses.
- jstanley 5y agoI also think I'd be interested in generic AR glasses to connect my own application to, but I'm curious why it would be preferable to have the manufacturer's website sitting in the middle of your pipeline? Personally I would find it preferable if I was talking directly to the glasses and did not have to use any cloud service.
- lordnacho 5y agoI meant ping my own website and just have it show what I'm serving. Like a simple endpoint that has some status text, doesn't have to be fancy. Just let me scrape 192.168.1.24:8080 every second and draw the text in my peripheral vision.
- adriancr 5y agowhy not just set alarms when user intervention is needed and forget about it?
- lordnacho 5y agoThere's just something about trading where you think you need to have it to hand all the time. Plus there are issues that you don't know how to code the alarm for, ie you want to know that something is up but it's not specific why you think you need to do something.
- cillian64 5y agoPerhaps something smartwatch-based would make sense for this. Almost certainly cheaper and easier than AR and still more immediate than pulling out a phone.
- lordnacho 5y agoTo me the watch is the same as the phone. You need to use your hands for either.
- d--b 5y agoWouldn't it be annoying to have numbers displayed in your glasses all the time? Isn't a watch app enough? With some way of telling it to beep when numbers go beyond some threshold?
