Projecting onto a physical device
Intrigued by the possibilities of this -- the idea that you can project an image that will guide assembly in the manufacturing process. Could absolutely slash training time and substantially reduce errors.

Similar to Land Rover experience
Some of Sage's comments reminded of an earlier post, and Brian Waterfield's comments about developing the design for Land Rover's Evoque.

Mixed reality tech is going to be really interesting. I'm wondering when Magic Leap will show off to the public what it's been working on....
AR in research science
Mark's comments -- particularly in response to the last question -- are right on target. AR is already a huge deal in terms of digital-transformation evangelism in science laboratories, for instance -- and integrates nicely with IoT and machine learning. (link)

Re: AR in research science
I'm skeptical about how much AR is having an influence in science labs... Maybe it extremely well-funded pharmaceutical & biotech labs? But in most science labs, scientists are barely scraping together modern computers to do their work.

Re: AR in research science
@mhhf1ve - I suspect it will be inconsistent. I think we'll see some fairly advanced stuff ramp up in better-funded facilities while others will get access more slowly. As always, it's a function of commercial applications -- you will always get more funding for something that has clear commercial value for potential sponsors. Mechanical design areas would be where I see this, and I would expect AR investment in R&D labs to go there pretty quickly.

@mhhf1ve I would say it all depends as some labs do get always latest and greatest...

Well said. That's why I'm skeptical that AR will be making much headway in the sciences at first... because as you point out, it'll be engineering where the ROI will probbaly be more readily available. The payback for science is too far off....

Re: Similar to Land Rover experience
@adi I was thinking that too. I love the idea of augmented reality for solving problems from the assembly line to the kitchen and everywhere in between.

Re: Projecting onto a physical device
Good article. I've always thought for VR to succeed we would need to have really good AR implementations. This is already happening in the enterprise, and Pokemon Go has prove out there is a consumer place for the technology.
I do believe it will take AR to make VR real.
