Cool! I did not know that. Augmented reality glasses, coupled with an AI that can interpret vision would seem to be useful here then.

- quickthrowman 15d agoI’ve had the same thought re: AR glasses with a HUD for mechanics/construction workers, there are a lot of cool possibilities.
- realo 15d agoYeah ... then you can have basically anyone off the street do the job. A great opportunity to pay your jumbo jet mechanics less than taxi drivers. I guess it would explain those small insignificant issues, however: https://viewfromthewing.com/ntsb-report-confirms-the-unraveling-of-boeing-missing-bolts-and-a-quality-control-crisis/ https://viewfromthewing.com/ntsb-report-confirms-the-unravel...
- dam_jackalopes 15d agoWe worked on a proof of concept using HoloLens for an engine teardown team at a trucking OEM. Ran into issues around network, security, the Hololens itself and a general disinterest from the teardown team but there's a lot of room to run in this space. It was a fun, if frustrating, project.
- Guthwine 15d agoThis seems like a fast-track to making airline mechanics a minimum-wage, any-guy-off-the-street kind of job, which is not who I want touching the plane I'm flying in. There needs to be SOME accountability. "Oh, but my glasses told me to unscrew this bolt, I was just following orders." is not how I want the future to be.
