As for me, I can't wait until it's available to assist with CRJ 200 Systems.

We’re using new technologies for predictive maintenance and remote support through wearable technology, such as HoloLens – this takes away the necessity of being reliant on a specific skillset in each and every market. In turn producers have less downtime and save resources. We have set this up in 56 customers’ sites already. This is growing and depending on what service agreement we have with our customers, there’s more or less interaction between the local workforce and the global support system.

This is an interesting something I haven't seen anywhere else before. It might be the truth or a significant error. (they're not uncommon in tech press, so I don't give this a lot of weight, but it's something to look at.... certainly, Microsoft has manufacturing partners.)

HoloLens is simply wearable technology – field engineers can wear the glasses and connect to a remote specialist, who might be sitting in Germany, Italy or any of our main production centres. It allows remote interactive support between the two. While the technology is Microsoft’s, the actual hardware is provided by Siemens.

Kuo -- Apple AR Glasses

....once it's developed we can sell it to whoever we want to....

Kuo is probably the best and most reliable Apple Watcher out there....

Apple Plans AR Glasses Likely Aimed At Mass Market

• by P.J. Bednarski  @pjbtweet, Yesterday

Apple’s next big thing might be augmented reality glasses, according to a research note from TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who follows Apple. 

Kuo, in his Wednesday note, says that unlike other glasses tested in the marketplace before, Apple is planning for its specs to be used as an accessory to its iPhones -- not packed with processing hardware -- so they will be less bulky.

Kuo originally said the glasses would be ready by mid-2020. In his new note, he said Apple expects the product to come to market early next year. Word of his report first came via website MacRumor.com.

Most notably, Microsoft marketed Hololens in 2016 and is now allowing pre-orders of Hololens 2, for up to $3,500. They're none too pretty.

The Hololens 2 website includes a video that appears to show surgeons, engineers and theatrical set designers using the glasses to guide their work.

Minecraft Earth

Everything AR on your phone will be AR with Glasses....

Minecraft is Microsoft.

The Most popular Youtube Video on Hololens.... Minecraft.

I'm still slammed, and unable to pay as much attention as I'd like... things are getting interesting again.

Thanks Mike
