Incredible footage from augmented reality glasses shows how they are helping engineers work
Augmented reality glasses could soon replace repair manuals. Fieldbit, a technology company based in Mountain View, has developed an AR application targeted at engineers and field repair specialists that will place instructions for how to operate machinery and repair malfunctioning industrial equipment directly into one's field of view. The technology allows an engineer to see a live feed from the glasses of a worker on the ground and place specific instructions into the environment to guide them through a maintenance or repair procedure. Fieldbit's AR software will give detailed instructions to field workers on site. For routine procedures, companies can record the instructions and spatial information into a database so future employees can access the information at any time.
