Title: The High-Tech Future of Working Post by: IndigoRed on June 25, 2018, 01:35:24 AM Ever wonder what it would be like to have x-ray vision. I have! That’s some superpower that is also, super-useful. Soon, we’ll know what that’s like.
Scientists at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are developing an assistance system based on this technology, particularly, AR glasses. They are currently using Microsoft’s HoloLens which “display the work to be done in the engineers' field of vision, who then have their hands free to install or repair components." The glasses are equipped with cameras, users can scan special markers on the tank in advance using the cameras, which communicate the exact location and the size of the tank to the glasses. “A transparent 3-D computer model from the inside of the tank is then projected onto the "real" tank; this means that engineers can also look into the closed tank from outside, understand the structure in detail, and get step-by-step instructions on how to install a pipe, for instance.” And I agree with KIT. AR glasses will help increase the flexibility of the employees, accelerate the workflow and connect and optimize processes. So for those who want to be more productive, those who want to maximize each minute of the day and basically those who want a new pair of waaaaay better eyes, AR glasses are a must have. Would you wear one at work? Source: https://phys.org/news/2018-06-augmented-reality-aircraft-tanks.html#jCp |
