AI smart glasses for hands-free repair guidance - this feels like a useful research direction
Not my project, but I think this is a pretty interesting prototype.
The demo is simple: smart glasses guide someone through a cooking recipe using voice/touch controls and a RAG knowledge base.
But the part that feels more useful is the industrial angle. Imagine this for repair, maintenance, inspections, or field work — situations where you need both hands free and don’t want to stop every few minutes to search a manual or look at a laptop.
I still think there are hard problems here: latency, wrong answers, noisy environments, battery life, comfort, and safety. But as a research direction, it makes a lot of sense to me.
Curious what people think. Would this actually be useful in real work, or would it mostly get in the way?
