I seriously wonder, do any of the folks with the “AR glasses to assist repair” thing ever actually repair anything, or do they get their ideas of how you repair stuff from computer games?
have you ever done any kind of fine-detail repair on anything? electronics, something with tiny screws, fixing paint on a decal… anything like that?
minority report floating holograms sure might be useful for this, “random-ass non specialised hardware shoved on your face” is decidedly more of a diceroll
I think he means repairs like washing machines, cars etc. It’s all very well looking up videos or pics of how to repair stuff, but often the video isn’t clear or fine quality enough
An overlaid graphic on whatever you were repairing would be fucking amazing for some of the stuff I do
but often the video isn’t clear or fine quality enough
Wouldn’t it be great if 100x the effort that didn’t go into making the video clear or fine quality enough, instead didn’t go into making relevant flying, see-through overlay decals?
Ultimately the reason it looks cool is that you’re comparing a situation of little effort being put into repair related documentation, to some movie scenario where 20 person-hours were spent making a 20-second repair fragment whereby 1 step of a repair is done.
I repair anything I can and I think the AR assistance sounds awesome. Especially when its for something I’ve never tackled before… In fact for me personally, it sounds like its by far the best use case of AR
Exactly. It goes something like "remember when you were fixing a washing machine and you didn’t know what some part was and there was no good guide for fixing it, no schematic, no nothing? Wouldn’t it be awesome if 100x of the work that wasn’t put into making documentation was not put into making VR overlays?
Even assuming the manual is available, a video game HUD overlay will still only be of limited use when the thing I’m trying to fix is put together with biblically accurate tamper resistant screws that strip even if you manage to find the correct driver bit, plastic tabs you can spudge open exactly once before they snap off, unmeltable adhesives known to cause california in the state of Cancer, ribbon cables as thick as spider webs, firmware last updated two olympiads ago and whose latest version is bigger than the device’s storage could ever fit anyway, a bootloader more tightly secured than any other software on the whole device, and components from a parallel universe made by companies that have never existed.
Also it will turn out that the AR repair manual is actually for a slightly different revision than you have and somehow everyone else on the internet has the more common variant.
on paper it sounds great (as I’ve already alluded to in a previous comment). as always, the devil is in the details. and I’d bet cold hard money on this being oversold/overhyped bullshit, once again

Isn’t that one of the enterprise cases where it’s actually been used?
Having schematics directly overlayed onto something I’m working on seems pretty helpful to me.
I’m not sure it’s actually being used, beyond C suite wanting something cool to happen and pretending it did happen.

it would, but it’s not clear how the same companies that make bad manuals now will make good AR overlays in the future

yeah, tell me again how you’re going to be fucking around the inside of a washing machine with a goddamn apple vision pro strapped to your face

getting normal manuals detailed enough to be useful is hard enough, forget about manuals compatible with AR set of the month
