Cool! I did not know that.

Augmented reality glasses, coupled with an AI that can interpret vision would seem to be useful here then.



This 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.


I’ve had the same thought re: AR glasses with a HUD for mechanics/construction workers, there are a lot of cool possibilities.


We 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.


Yeah ... 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:
