Augmented Reality To Help Mechanics Fix Vehicles

Augmented Reality To Help Mechanics Fix Vehicles: "kkleiner writes 'ARMAR, or Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair, is a head mounted display unit that provides graphic overlays to assist you in making repairs. An Android phone provides an interface to control the graphics you view during the process. Published in IEEE, and recently tested with the United States Marine Corps on an armored turret, ARMAR can cut maintenance times in half by guiding users to the damaged area and displaying 3D animations to demonstrate the appropriate tools and techniques.'

Interesting Video: Building with Overlayed Video and Interactive Skin

I found this very interesting and inspirational to the world of Augmented Reality.

It shows on a very large scale how something in the real world can serve as a vessel of delivering digital content.

As we get closer to pico projectors, and in this case, large scale projectors and sensors, the way we interact in the hybrid world will be even more dreamy.
