AR is used today in automotive manufacture and repair (Bosch), and surgery (Mount Sinai, John Hopkins). There's also military applications, or construction.
Meta is not, by a long shot, on the forefront of actual uses of the technology. Their hardware, and ease of use is top notch, no question about it.
But there are real, and pratical use cases out there done by smaller companies in specialized fields. The issue lies in creating something with mainstream appeal, which I do agree with you, that's a whole other story.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoIt looks like the Bosch solution is an AR iPad app. I was really thinking about the challenge of developing a full headset for welding. https://www.boschaftermarket.com/gb/en/diagnostics/solutions/augmented-reality https://www.boschaftermarket.com/gb/en/diagnostics/solutions... It wasn't totally clear, but it looks like Mount Sinai might be using Microsoft hololens. It does seem like John Hopkins has something interesting. I am not saying it is impossible, but I certainly would not say I was "surprised" Miller welding has not developed full AR glasses for welding. AR is hard and this is early days.
