- gs17 5y agoNot all of them aimed for a broad market. Daqri originally was aiming at industrial/construction use instead. Their headset was built into a hardhat and it seemed like a decent niche if the capabilities were there. The real issue seemed to be a combination of cost and overpromising the tech. I remember videos where they were acting like it would have an "x-ray" view of things for maintenance, linked to IoT sensors for data, but I'm not sure if any of that ever existed.
- SahAssar 5y agoThat sounds a lot like some of the promises of hololens. Maybe this segment requires the deep pockets, partners and platform integration that only a giant like microsoft can bring.
- newark 5y agoWould you expand on what part of the user experience is not great please? Is it the UI, UX, wear / form factor of the devices? How might the experience be improved?
