This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby

    It would be incredibly useful in construction. Having a digital overlay telling you exactly where to put up the framing for a separating wall, or an overlay showing the correct distance between screws, or where wires and pipes are inside a wall? There are so incredibly many awesome possible uses for AR in construction.

      I always wanted to build an AR app for inside data centers. Imagine looking at a server and being able to open a terminal or desktop that you can immediately interact with on the floor. or have it display resource information like hardware utilization, temps, network throughput and configuration, etc.

      it would make a difficult job just bit more manageable.

        I really like the special tagged tape that could bring up AR tags and details about it. Organization and directions are so more useful.
