Weird to contextualize this as "put on glasses".
Like, I have a cellphone with a high resolution camera in my pocket - it would be more then enough to be able to have it image recognize the parts I should be looking for and highlight which bolt I undo next (and ideally, hint and show an arrow if I'm looking at the wrong thing).
One of my primary uses of YouTube videos over service manuals is just to confirm that when it says "undo the secondary philangy bolts" that I'm clear on exactly what that is.
That said, I don't even think that's the key use-case: the key use-case would be letting those YouTubers include the image tags to the right part of the video, since half the benefit is seeing someone who's done it show how they do it, and how they move and place the parts (which usually avoids some "buy Manufacturer Service Tool 3 and 19 to undo intermediate part 81).
- chikere232 2y agoYeah, it's strange to assume that a new display will suddenly give us a lot of really clever software. If someone can build a thing to contextually guide us in a wide range of everyday tasks, that's a billion dollar app just for smartphones. Sure it might be more convenient to have two hands free, but is that really the blocker?
- XorNot 2y agoI have a motor cyclists wrist mount for my phone for exactly this use case (well, so I can use my boroscope camera with two hands and see the video stream while I do). But adding some level of gaze tracking or hands free voice while I use it would also work for say, stopping or starting video playback.
