Hello again.
As you know, I am Eli the computer guy.
Today, we're going to be talking about augmented reality.
So augmented reality, essentially is when you have a computer visual overlay over what you are looking at.
So augmented reality is one those technologies.
You see a lot in science fiction movies, where Terminator or the copper, whatever is looking out at their environment.
And not only do they see the environment, but they also see informational overlays over the environment so it may show temperature settings.
So maybe, like infrared showing where there's heat, or they may be able to do some kind of math calculations where if the bullet went from here, that means it has to go over there.
So it's important.
Understand that when we're talking about augmented reality, the standard effort, the standard definition of augmented reality is that this is a visual overlay over the real world.
It's important to realize this because there's augmented reality.
There is virtual reality, and now there's even merged reality.
And so again, one thing you have to be thinking about in the technology world is a lot of times we throw out words and those words start to get a little bit confusing because you have the technology professionals and they create words.
And then you have the marketing people and they create words and you have the legal department and they create words.
And all of a sudden you start to get this mush of words were like, Well, if that's augmented reality than what is merged reality.
If that's merged reality with Wait a minute, what is virtual reality?
And then and then you start to just kind of kind of your brain starts to melt a little bit.
So we're talking about augmented reality today.
What we're talking about is this is computer systems being able to give a visual overlay in real time.
So when you're looking out at the world, you're getting additional visual information.
Now, before I get into the video today, I do have to talk about our sponsors because the sponsors and ones that pay the bills and help silicon discourse dot com survive.
So we have Geist, Geist Bills and Livers rec P to use ultra quick enough US five days for standard units made in America.

As I always say, I don't really care if you subscribe.
Thumbs up, thumbs down and leave a comment.
But you click on the spot Serling's below and see what they have to say.
That's what helps pay the bills.
So in order to understand the modern state of augmented reality, it's best that we just go over and take a look at the products so augmented.
Reality is currently in the state where there is no real standardization.
So when you're looking at smartphones, right, if you look at a smartphone, basically you have IOS or you have Android and let's face it, they basically all work the same, right?
If you're gonna be using VoIP, all VoIP Connell works the same.
You're going to look using websites.
Basically, all websites kind of work the same, but we start looking at augmented.
Reality is augmented.
Reality looks a lot like Web design, circa 1995 where if you wanted to encode for Netscape, you had to use certain HTML tags.
And if you want to code for ah, for Internet Explorer, you had to use other HTML tags.
The reality was is that there was just no standardized platform so many times it was complicated.
Understand what was going on because you have so many options.
The same is true with augmented reality.
The concept of augmented reality overlaying visual information over what you're seeing is pretty simple.
But then when you get to the real world, oh, you get so many options you get, I'm also show you just a few of the vendors and the products that are out there.
But you have to understand these air, just the top vendors and there are probably literally thousands of other options out there.
And so this will help.
You kind of get your eye your mind around the idea of augmented reality so that it doesn't get fixated it so many times.
With technology, we get tunnel vision.
We kind of fixated, and we think that is what this technology is when it's not, that's that that's that's a version of the technology.
But there are a lot more options out there.
Let's go over to take a look at the computer and see what the different options are for augmented reality as they currently exist.
So we go over here.
The first company I have lined up is O.
D.
G s O.
D.
D.
Is considered like a premium player in the augmented reality world.
They already have products.
They already have products out in the field.
They already have solutions out of the field.
There already have accessories.
Basically, OD G has been doing this stuff for a long time now and is considered a top tier player within augmented reality.
So if you take a look here, you can see that they've got their augmented reality glasses.
So these horrible, ugly glasses.
But the cool part is, and this is something you should be thinking about is that they've also got accessories.
They've got replacement parts, they've got corrective lenses.
Uh, I'm trying to talk to I t professionals.
You know, if you're walking these videos, the concept is the thought is that you want to be an I T decision maker, and so picking vendors that have accessories have replacement parts have all of these additional items is very important because what happens if you go out to deploy 1000 augmented reality goggles and then certain parts break or they don't fit particularly right or certain people?
I just can't interact with it in the way that you expected.
If you go with a vendor that has different accessories, then it's no big deal.
We just go back to the to the white board, redesign a couple of things and then just redeployed of those people who need it.
If you pick models that arm or fixed on what they can do, they're more static On what they can d'oh!
Then you start running into issues.
So that's where the cool things with O.
D.
G s.
If we take a look at O d G, you go over against either there are seven smart glasses.
So this is their current model Smart glasses.
Um and they are big.
I I have had the zone, and I would argue they kind of sort of feel more like safety glasses on a construction site.
So if you're used to going on to a construction site and putting on safety glasses, that's kind of sort of what these feel Like E ad.
They're heavier than normal safety glasses, but honestly, they're about as comfortable.
Right.
Safety glasses kind of suck.
And these, you know, they do what they do, but they kind of suck to have them on.
If you take a look, one of the things they're gonna be looking at when you're gonna be buying augmented reality glasses is taking a look to see what options that they have.
So again, this is very important.
Different augmented reality glasses use different platforms.
They have different image resolutions.
They have all kinds of different options.
So if you take a look here.
These These actually have a Qualcomm snapdragon 2.7 gigahertz.
Quad core processor built it.
And this is built into the glasses itself, which is really kind of cool as 64 gigs of storage.
Dual 7 20 p.
So very good.
Very high resolution, radical os custom framework on android.
KitKat.
So if you're going to be designing applications as important, understand, Bluetooth 802 11 a c ah, gloss.
Nass and GPS on there.
And as a lithium ion batteries, multiple integrated inertial measuring units three axis accelerometer ah, three axis Gyroscope three access magnetometer Auto focus camera 10 80 p s.
60 frames for 2nd 7 20 p at 100 and 20 frames for second magnetically swappable lenses and also magnetic stereo earbuds.
So these are the things that you're going to have to be thinking about whenever you're going to buy the product.
What you'll notice here is that these are seven smart glasses cost $2750 that is before well, before you even get to the accessories.
And so what you have to realize is by, and smart glasses is a lot like buying a computer or buying a car.
Do you need the fastest GPO?
Do you really need a solid state drive?
Do you really need all of these fancy things?
Or will something less expensive be better for you?
I mean, the fact that this says GPS built in that school from a technology standpoint, But from a usability standpoint, if you're just gonna have people running around a factory, do you really need GPS?
Do you need the Bluetooth?
You need 8 to 11 a sea.
Do you need 7 20 p stereoscopic view.
Maybe you don't.
Maybe he needs something simpler.
So this is important things.
O d g is like, top the line.
And so this is This is like the Lexus of augmented reality.
But it's just like buying Alexis is also the Lexus monumental rally.
If you go over, you take a look of the accessories.
What you can see is they've got all kinds of different accessories.
One thing you're gonna have to be thinking about when you deal with augmented reality is how are you going to interact with that augmented reality environment?
Are you gonna try to talk to it?
Is it going to be some kind of visual recognition?
Are you gonna have some kind of weird mouse or do you need a keyboard?
These are the things that you have to be thinking about.
If you have a factory worker who's going to have to install a replacement part, he may have to type in a part number in order to be able to call it up.
So you're gonna have to be thinking about those different accessories.
So they've got Let's see, I got Bluetooth keyboard.
They've got extra power.
So, you know, with these things, they only have, ah, certain amount of battery life.
How are they gonna charge these things up in the field?
They have the wreck.
Tickle speed mouse.
This is kind of cool.
It's almost like a little ring.
This little ring you put on your finger that ends up being a mouse.
Pretty good little design.
There, you got 10 2 glasses.
They got power supply.
They've got all kinds of different little items here.
And so this is one of those things are going to be thinking about is what additional accessories?
Just because you put the glasses on the head That's only one part of a magic and creating the best gaming system that you could ever build.
Imagine building a 3000 gate dollar gaming system.
You put the best G p u n you put amazing solid state drive in there, but a great CPU in there.
You hook the monitor on you booted up, and then you don't have a keyboard or mouse.
Then what are you gonna do?
Great fancy computer.
But if you don't have the inputs, you're gonna be screwed if we go over again.
One of the cool things with O d.
D.
And this is something you're gonna be thinking about when you're gonna be deploying this in the field.
One of problems a lot of geeks run into A lot of technology professionals run into is they buy and they design systems based on themselves.
Right?
So I'm 40 years old, but I've still got 2020 vision.
I have perfect, wonderful, great vision.
So if I was going out there Thio figure out an augmented reality solution for my company, it would be very easy to forget that a lot of people need to wear glasses and so if you go out there and I'm gonna be deploying 105 100 1000 of these units.
The chances are there's going to be a chunk of your population that needs to use glasses.
You're gonna have to be thinking about that.
One of the cool things with O.
D.
G is that actually allow you toe add corrective lenses into their set up.
Just one of those generic things to be thinking about.
Then, if you go over, of course, you've got the hollow lens.
So Microsoft Hololens is Microsoft's ah, way of trying to get into the augmented reality world.
Basically, with this, it's able to plug in to the whole Microsoft framework, and then you're able to to do different things.
This is one of those things you ought to be thinking about with the whole idea of the platform and the stack you're gonna be building on So D.
D.
You build on the android stack with Microsoft, you build on the Microsoft stack.
It always.
It really depends on what's important to you.
You don't really wanna have to reinvent the wheel.
And so, by going with one augmented reality unit that uses the stack that you're already using.
Maybe a very valuable thing.
Finding people that can code for Microsoft, especially at this level, should be a relatively simple thing to Dio.
If you take a look at those and this is this gives you a little bit more of an idea, too, of what different augmented reality glasses look like.
If we go over and we take a look, then we also have Sony's augmented reality solutions that have a smart eyeglasses developer Kip.
Now what I like about these for the smart eyeglasses is that they don't have the insane resolution that either the hollow lens or the O.
D G smart goggles have.
So DJ is really nice.
Hollow Lens Hollow and the The resolution on the Hollands is like mind blowing.
There's problems with it.
We'll talk about that a little bit later, but the resolution is great when you're looking at the object.
It really looks like really, really good is like having a computer screen right in front of my balls.
But remember, you're going to be paying for that.
So the question is, do you really need to pay for a high definition screen writing from somebody's eyeballs, or do you need to just give more basic information?
So I've used the Sony Smart glasses and what's nice about the stony smart glasses?
Essentially, you get a green screen in front of your eyes.
So when you have these things on, this is all you have.
So the field of the real world feed, field of view vision I find to be better than a lot of the other augmented reality.
It feels more like you literally just have safety glasses on.
And then when you're looking around, you simply have this simple green screen in front of you.
So if you need directions or if you need simple information, it can put that in front of your eyes without all the additional stuff.
Why this is valuable in the real world is the O.
D.
G.
Glasses, as you saw were $2700.
The Hollow Lens Developer edition.
I think it's $3000.
The Sony last time I checked was 900.
So again, you're gonna be deploying.
Let's say 100 of these things in the real world.
Ah, that that's a that's a massive cost savings.
So something be thinking about their then you also you go over you.
Have you six of you?
Six is another large company.
They they're they're augmented reality glasses again.
Kind of like the same thing, like with o d g only not as not as, ah, many components in there.
And they're generally less expensive if you take a look when they they have a video here.
And basically this is what the augmented reality looks like in the real world.
So if you have, ah, shows you a little peek a Q sitting on the chair and that really is about the resolution that you're gonna be seen.
So that kind of gives you an idea of high quality resolution.
And then, of course, we have, um, the Dockery.
So the Dockery is something that was showing off and see yes for a couple of years, and this is something that's very built for the industrial world.
One of those things to be thinking about is one.
What application are you going to be used in augmented reality in?
And so this is in the industrial world.
And the idea here is that it's able to give you real time information, so it can give you information.
So if you're going through a factory, it can give you an information from readouts from the different sensors that are in the factory and tell you exactly what's going on.
It can tell you things like thermal vision that can tell you heat s.
So if there's things going on with the heat, it can give you guided work instructions so I can tell you exactly how to fix a certain items.
So let's say something is too hot So we can say this.
This component is too hot, therefore, and will actually give you an overlay and show you that what you should do is you shouldn't move this particular valve into a different position.
So this is the Dockery for the industrial world.
Very cool thing.
And then, finally, we did an interview with folks over at SWAT bots a few weeks ago.
But then, to show you that when we talk about visual overlay, that doesn't necessarily mean glasses.
So there's some augmented reality now where essentially you use your smartphone or you use your iPad, you look through your iPad, and then that gives you more information on the screen.
So if you look at what this this kid is doing, so that camera looks at the real world and then the toy he puts in front of that camera.
It then adds, kind of like that visual functionality to.
And so that's the important thing to be thinking about with the augmented Reality is it's that Is that visual overlays.
So you will start to see more companies talking about augmented reality using things like iPads or mobile devices.
And that's still within the world of augmented reality.
Now the big question that comes up with augmented reality is, but what's the resolution like?
We talked about that a little bit with the products, but that's something that people are very interested in.
Wow, is it gonna be like having a four K screen right in front of my eyeballs?
Eli.
Ah, and what I will say having used a number of these different devices is they're really good.
They're really good now.
I'm not a video file, so I'm probably not the person that you wanna listen to about the quality of the video, But I do have to say, as an average person that uses computer screens every day.
I have been shocked about how good the resolution of these augmented reality glasses could be.
They are really, really good.
I was able to use hollow lens when with the South by Southwest Interactive, and there was a hole.
Oh, there's a demonstration of basically being able to use virtual Legos and you're able to look a rat.
So so with Legos were in front of you.
And then you're able to pivot your head around and look at the Legos from different perspectives.
And it was seamless and it was clear, and it was beautiful.
So I have to say, as far as the resolution is concerned, absolutely amazing.
But But in the technology world, right, it's not about asking the questions, you know to ask.
It's about asking the questions that didn't come into your head in the first place.
And the big problem that I see right now with augmented reality is not the resolution.
Resolution is amazing.
Resolution Hololens resolution is amazing, but with the hollow lens.
The resolution was amazing on what looked like a postage stamp in front of my eyeballs.
So whenever they talk about augmented reality and this this idea of a 360 degree world.
Basically, the Vue goes all the way to your peripheral vision.
I I personally have not seen that yet.
When I have seen is these weird little postage stamp things right in front of her eyeballs on.
So they have great resolution.
They have great resolution, but it's not.
It's not like it takes over the world like like they make it out to be.
It's not like all these things were going on at the periphery of your vision is more right in that central area.
That's where you've got the video feed going on, and then it literally, like, cuts off essentially without that postage stamp size.
So that's one of those things that you just got to be thinking about, and just to keep in mind with augmented reality where maybe, maybe in a year or two or three they'll have bigger screens in front of the eyeballs.
But this is just something you're gonna have to keep in mind now.
The next thing after we talk about image resolution with augmented reality is we have to talk about the processing power.
How are these augmented reality glasses providing new information, and this is something that you're going to have to be have to be thinking about as you build out your infrastructure.
So when we look at the O.
D.
D goggles, we look at the other items you will see that most of them have a processor built into them.
But when you look at that processor essentially Maur less.
It's a smartphone processor, that's all it ISS.
So you see, all these high tech demonstrations were All this amazing stuff was going on, and one of things you have to think about it is Do you do I really do I really believe that the guts of a smartphone are able to drive all the calculations that have to occur for what this person is saying.
And what you realized after take a look at a little bit is a lot of times the smart, the guts of a smartphone simply couldn't do that.
So you're gonna have to be thinking about how it's is the processing going to occur for the augmented reality glasses to be able to provide the end user the information that they need Now, it could be local, with basically a small Web interface.
The OD D glasses have a NATO to 11 a c wireless connection, so it may be something very simple.
So let's say I am walking around and I get basic, maybe message notifications.
Or maybe I can put some stuff into the database.
So essentially what you could have happened is literally you have the equivalent of an HTML form sitting in front of my balls.
Ah, and then that just outputs information up to two whatever server or pulls information from whatever server.
And so for that, that's really no big deals.
Faras processing power is concerned, and any guts of a smartphone will be able to do that the other way.
That I've seen these augmented reality glasses used, which is kind of interesting, is where essentially its remote input.
So that's one thing I saw with the Sony Glasses was the idea there is that there's a camera in the glasses, and so if you have a worker out in the field, you can then have somebody let's say back at headquarters, be able pull up the video feed of what they're seeing, and then it's really kind of cool where the person back at headquarters can say, I need you to turn that valve and they can press on a mouse button and then the valve would just light up green.
So there's not a there's not actually processing going on.
This is important thing to be understanding is how does processing occur?
So it's not that the goggles understand that that's a valve.
It's not that the computer server understands that's a valve.
It is simply essentially somebody using, like, remote desktop back in the office, in the headquarters and what they're looking at.
And they basically just highlight an area of the screen and they say, Turn the valve that's here, Okay?
And you turned the valve that's there.
So that's another way that augmented reality could be valuable on one of those things have to be thinking about the final way that augmented reality can be valuable.
And this is something where you're really gonna have to be thinking about your infrastructure.
Is the whole idea of age computing and cloud processing.
So if you look at it, the guts of us, the guts of a smartphone is not going to be able to really artificial intelligence and not gonna be able to do like, really, really, really complicated operations.
So what you can dio is you can have the guts of the smartphone and those augmented reality glasses.
Be able to do a limited amount of processing on what is being seen and then send that output to a very, very powerful server or set of servers, have them be able to crunch all the data and essentially be able to send the information back for the glasses to know what to show on the screen.
For that, that's a great way of doing things.
That means you don't have to have a lot of processing power in the glasses themselves, which means you don't have to have a lot of weight.
You have to have a lot of battery AA battery on their plus.
You don't have to have a lot of cost.
The downside that to that, though, is you do have to have a really, really, really good Internet connection again.
No big deal as long as you design the infrastructure properly.
So the question comes up with any of these kinds of technology.
But Eli but Eli, what is the real world applications of augmented reality.
Yeah, I know.
So when he's trying to sell a stuff Dockery stealing a stuff you keep talking about this OD d to be clear, they're not a sponsor.
They just create a good product.
But, you know, our people really using this stuff in the real world, we heard about virtual reality.
Virtual reality was gonna take over the world.
And people aren't that interested.
We heard about three D TVs.
Hey, remember when three D TVs were gonna take over the world until they stopped producing any of them?
So the question is with augmented reality.
Are people actually going to use augmented reality?
And so, in the real world, people are using augmented reality in ways where they don't they're not able to use their hands s.
They're talking about augmented reality, especially in the medical world.
So if you have a doctor or nurse who's in surgery and so their hands are tied up literally in the guts of a person, it's a way to be of the call of information without having to use their hands.
So that could be valuable, especially in the industrial world and a lot of very specific industrial situations again.
People have their hands on items.
They need to be able to call up information without taking their hands off of items s.
Oh, that could be a very, very useful thing.
Ah, the question comes up.
Is it gonna be used in the everyday world like, am I going to use it?
You gotta use it.
That's one thing that we're not seeing a lot of I owned Google Glass back in the day.
I used it for all of a couple of days until it got annoying.
Ah, we're not seeing a lot of augmented reality in the normal world.
You know, your mom, your grandpa, your your sister, your brother is probably not going to be using it.
But the fact is, in the in the industrial world, in the medical world and very specialized instances, it is being used in the real world to actually bring productivity to the enterprise.
The big thing to understand is, whenever you're going to be going out there and looking at the augmented reality options that are available is that you really understand your use case.
You really, really, really understand your use case and then you Taylor Ah, you're finished solution specifically to that use case and to the people that are gonna be using it.
So, of course, this is Eli the computer guy.
And no, you let go of your guy.
Video would be complete without talking about the problems, because that's really as a tech professional.
Let's be honest.
That's all I care about.
All I care about the problems if things work right, If things that do what they're supposed to dio at a cost that's effective, I don't care about those problems, right?
That that's that's literally not a problem.
I don't care about that.
What I care about is solving the problems.
And so that's where one of the things we need to be thinking about when we start looking the augmented reality is what are the current problems when dealing with augmented reality, to decide if they really solve the problems that we think we need to solve?
The first big one that I do have to say is the field of view issue.
So when we're talking about hollow lens and some of the other arm into reality goggles or glasses, I really do have to say that fueled a view is like a postage stamp.
Um, the concept of you put the you put the headset on and all of a sudden you're immersed in this this wacky world of technology and reality.
It's just not the case.
Basically, you've got a postage stamp that's floating in front of your eyeballs.
It's important to understand that, because from a usability standpoint, it's not quite a sexy and exciting as you may think, whether or not that's important to you really depends where the big problem we're dealing with right now is that there's multiple platforms.
And when I say multiple platforms, really multiple platforms, everything from Android Uh oh D D with Android.
You have Sony with their proprietary thing.
We have hollow lens with the Microsoft Stack one.
The issues that we're dealing with now is, even if you do decide you're gonna go out into augmented reality is that there's no one set standard.
It's not like voice over I P, where everybody now uses sip.
And so you just buy a set product or things like HTML, where everybody uses a female on Java script and so you can go out and use any browser you want?
One of the issues is we're going to go out there and you're gonna buy and deploy.
One of these platforms is you're gonna be stuck with that platform.
And a lot of those platforms are very vendor specific OD D hollow lens.
Sony.
If Sony stops building their particular product, are you gonna be able to go out there and buy a replacement from somebody else?
Probably not.
Processing power is a big issue.
Um, it's not a big issue if you really think about what you're doing.
But a lot of times people get excited to write checks they don't.
They're not very excited about planning projects.
And so one of the problems is if you go out there, if you don't make sure your your your CPU, you're processing infrastructure will be of the handle, the tasks that you're going to give it, you could run into a lot of problems.
So if you have one pair of smart glasses on the person and the technician is going out to do work, your infrastructure may work perfectly.
But if you're gonna employ 100 or 500 or 1000 you may run into issues also from the I T stand point.
One of the issues that you may run into is again in the for augmented reality.
A lot of augmented reality is going to be used in the industrial setting.
So most I t professionals.
We're used to working in offices with cubes and drop ceilings and plaster.
And and, uh, you know what?
Our sheet rock walls, that type of thing.
That's how we're used to deploying wireless.
That's how it used to deploy in our infrastructure.
One of questions you're going to be asking yourself is, if you're augmented, reality glasses have to talk back to your infrastructure.
How is the wireless propagation in your factory when you when you have huge, just pure chunks of metal?
When you have pipes filled with chemicals and steam?
When you have a building, that's all metal, you know, Iron Bar and all that kind of stuff.
Is the wireless propagation going to work?
How you think it is?
This could be a real problem the industrial world, because, let's say let's say you have 98% coverage given area, so you have a factory and you have 98% coverage of an area well, if you have a factory worker who is using your glasses in order to get tasks done, a lot of those valves that they may have to turn, or a lot of the things that they may have to work on our in those quirky, weird little areas where the wireless signal just doesn't get to right.
So if you've got sensors and valves you know, stuck in the middle between two big, colder any type things and a couple of iron bars, the wireless signal might not get to that specific area.
So it's going to be very important for you if you're gonna be deploying these solutions to go out, talk with the people on the floor and then during the process where you're getting everything online, make sure you do a lot of testing because augmented reality is supposed to help from a safety concern.
This is important in the real world.
You know when you have factory workers, if they have to have two hands on an object for safety reasons that safety reasons, that's not that's not a joke.
So if they're in an area and they have to put their hands on and they have t changes setting, and all of a sudden they're augmented.
Reality glasses are no longer providing them information.
That could be a real safety hazard that could get somebody injured or possibly even killed.
Um, beyond that with augmented reality right now is the cost to one of things going to be thinking about with the cost of augmented reality is not only to have to buy these these augmented reality glasses up to $3000 a pop, but you're gonna have to build the infrastructure for not just the servers and networking and all that, but the actual applications that you're going to be using so that $3000 per glasses may actually be a very, very, very small cost.
When you go out there and you start looking to design, you're your applications for the augmented reality world, you might find out those air 1,000,000 to $2 million projects that you were not expecting.
So this is important thing to be thinking about a lot of people, just like with websites web design.
I used to go out there and Isis Cell, $1000 website, and so when I would go.
Somebody say Yes, I want to buy your $1000 website and then they would come back.
They would ask for 50 flash animations and this and that.
And the other thing, this is like, Yeah, that's that's not what you get for 1000 bucks.
That's not what you get for it, but that's like a $50,000 project.
But it's important to be taught talking to your C level executives and your managers so that they understand what the cost for the overall project is gonna look like since they're not alive just off the shelf.
APS out there for you right now.
So what are my final thoughts with augmented reality?
Um, I think it's kind of cool.
I think it's kind of cool.
I think a lot of people are thinking about it in the wrong direction, though, so we're talking about augmented reality.
We're thinking about those visual overlays, and I know for myself, maybe I'm strange.
Maybe I'm strange, but it's very hard for me to focus two things at once, and that's one of things that that doesn't get talked about a lot.
We're talking about augmented reality.
I see I see a number of tech journalists, and they say, You know what happens when somebody has augmented reality glasses on and then they're looking at you and they don't know if if, if you know you don't know if they're looking at you or if they're watching a movie and just nodding at you.
At which point you know that that tech writer has never actually used augmented reality because what you find is that you can't focus on two things at once.
Let's let's say I have this item here.
So basically think.
Think about this as a screen in front of my eyeballs so I can either focus on this or I can focus around it and what's going on over there.
I can't focus on both things at the same time.
And so that's one of the problems that I find with augmented reality right now is simply that when you're using augmented reality glasses, it's it's really like you have your screen, too, in his front of your face.
So if I am, if I'm focused on that screen, I can look at that screen to be very impressed with the resolution.
But I don't really know what?
What's going on around here?
If I If I'm doing, if I'm looking at that screen and I'm trying to walk around, let's say in New York City I'm gonna be dead.
Kind of gonna be dead kind of quick.
So I do think that the concept of augmented reality outstrips what augmented reality really is.
I'm into reality.
Essentially is an on demand computer screen that pops up two inches in front of your face if you need that.
Good.
If not, you don't.
The other problem that I have with the augmented reality is the idea of that.
The computer device itself has to be, um, superimposing the information off of a video feed.
So I've talked about where I have a travel trailer, so have a travel trailer and for the travel trailer, these height weight restrictions for when you drive it.
And so I went out and I bought a special called a diesel GPS.
If you're gonna buy a travel trailer, an RV, buy one.
If you're anybody else, don't cause your bloody expensive like 4 $500.
Ah, specialized GPS is but in those specialized GPS is they provide me a lot of additional information in real time.
So while I'm driving down the road, I can see everything from the elevation.
Are we going up?
Two down.
I can see things like where the next truck stop is where the next a tm is, where the next port a potty is.
Not only can I see where the next truck stop is, but I can hit a button and then it will pull up like the next 50 truck stops.
So if I'm I'm driving.
So when I drive, you only get 10 miles to a gallon when you're when you're hauling a trailer so I can see that.
Okay, in 30 miles there's going to be a a a truck refuel in place and 100 miles.
There's gonna be a truck refueling place so I can look down.
I can see how much gas I have left, and then I can make it real time decision on.
Do I pull off now?
Do I pull off in 30 miles or do I pull off 100 miles?
And so that's where I think augmented reality really should be going is instead of trying to give this visual overlay Maur.
The idea of being able to give us real time visual information that's just not doesn't happen to be in the glasses.
So when I use a smart phones whenever I'm traveling, I use a smartphone a lot for things like Google Maps.
And so Google Maps gives me all the additional information about where I am, where I would argue, that's augmented reality.
But technically it's not.
The Dessel GPS gives me all of that realtor time visual information again, not necessarily considered augmented reality.
So that's where I would argue with a lot of this stuff.
When we start talking about augmented reality, I think the traditional definition of augmented reality it will be very good for factory workers, for medical institutions, for some very specific purposes where you have to have two hands on whatever you're doing.
But you're also able to focus between where the screen is and whatever it is you're doing.
If you're in a situation like that, I think all augmented reality makes a lot of sense a sw far.
As for most of us in the real world, I would argue Maur and better computer screens that can give us more relevant information is actually a better way to go.
But maybe that's me.
So Ah, as you know, I'm Eli the computer guy.
As always, I enjoy doing this video and look forward to see what the next one.
