A research team at Stanford is developing a new AI-assisted holographic imaging technology it claims is thinner, lighter, and higher quality than anything its researchers have seen.

the Stanford tech is currently just a prototype

      Why? I’d use the shit out of them at work. I work on construction sites. It’d be awesome to have an app to superimpose the finished plans on top of what I’m seeing so I don’t have to constantly refer back to the paper prints. No more measuring shit five times, just install it exactly as you see it.

        That’s a pretty cool idea, though I think it would be a challenge to align the plans perfectly with the actual construction site.

        They already exist in much larger packaging.

        Nobody uses that stuff, though.

          Sure they do. Hololens is used by a large swath of major engineering firms, I’ve seen people use the Quests fairly extensively for AR, and Apple somehow still sold out their pretty awful AR product as well.

            I think most people understand the difference between “existing” and “happening”.

            That was the whole point of the original comment.

            You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

              Seems you used that word. I’m just responding to your comments.
