Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

have you ever done any kind of fine-detail repair on anything? electronics, something with tiny screws, fixing paint on a decal.. anything like that?
minority report floating holograms sure might be useful for this, “random-ass non specialised hardware shoved on your face” is decidedly more of a diceroll
Well the OP talks about a fridge.
I think if anything it's even worse for tiny things with tiny screws.
What kind of floating hologram is there gonna be that's of any use, for something that has no schematic and the closest you have to a repair manual is some guy filming themselves taking apart some related product once?
It looks cool in a movie because it's a 20 second clip in which one connector gets plugged, and tens of person hours were spent on it by very talented people who know how to set up a scene that looks good and not just visually noisy.
I think he means repairs like washing machines, cars etc. It's all very well looking up videos or pics of how to repair stuff, but often the video isn't clear or fine quality enough
An overlaid graphic on whatever you were repairing would be fucking amazing for some of the stuff I do
it would, but it's not clear how the same companies that make bad manuals now will make good AR overlays in the future
magic, obvies
(probably the same kind of magic that makes chatgpt work well)
Wouldn't it be great if 100x the effort that didn't go into making the video clear or fine quality enough, instead didn't go into making relevant flying, see-through overlay decals?
Ultimately the reason it looks cool is that you're comparing a situation of little effort being put into repair related documentation, to some movie scenario where 20 person-hours were spent making a 20-second repair fragment whereby 1 step of a repair is done.
yeah, tell me again how you're going to be fucking around the inside of a washing machine with a goddamn apple vision pro strapped to your face
@froztbyte @Mr_Blott new Pornhub category just dropped
You realize it's a dev kit? The obvious end goal is to get tech to the point that you can wear them as glasses.
Ah yes, Glasshole SDK, I’ve heard of that before
Yes?
Having shit clearly labeled would be incredibly helpful.
