I mean, these were cute and demos were a bit "wow" but the practicality seemed reduced, especially when most of the use cases they demonstrated would be covered by a phone call.
The big industrial use case I saw was to receive teleguidance to repair equipment, the ground reality is that most of the time if you don't know how to fix it... You're not allowed to try to fix it.
- boppo1 4y agoThe coolest use-case I saw was controlling a humanoid robot to repair a pipeline in a hostile environment. Now we just have to wait till humanoid robot tech catches up.

- somerandomqaguy 4y agoEh, I always viewed it more as having a guided reference manual on hand more then letting someone untrained perform a repair. A mechanic might know exactly how a car engine works, but they probably don't know the exact part numbers, torque specs, and disassembly / reassembly order to gain access to an specific area on repair for that specific model and year of car.
- charles_f 4y agoI don't know. The few technicians I know are already hardcore on having paper manuals, an iPad is already way too much into the BS. They'd never put that on.
- sofixa 4y agoThere's another practical niche - museums. The Museum of the Liberation of Paris - General Leclerc - Jean Moulin (same museum, they couldn't decide on the name apparently) uses HoloLenses in the underground bunker that served as a command post during the uprising in Paris that led to it's liberation. It allows for a much more immersive experience than just signs and mannequins (they have both of those too). I can also see that working very well in e.g. natural history museums, with AR making fossils come to life.
