I thought it was some sort of desktop simulator. Either way AR is the application I am actually interested in. I don't think it will be easy or quick, but we could be looking at a second industrial revolution.
I was only aware of 1. Computers by themselves aren't a method of producing things. Robots are. To the extent that we have 3d printing and robots, perhaps one of those is the 2nd. Seems like it's going to run right into the 3rd though.
My thought is we are going to move away from mass production. An artisan or robot will make things as you need them and customized for your application. Manufacturing will be less centralized. AR will guide artisans and allow you to do jobs with less prior knowledge .
One thing about what we do now is it is hugely wasteful both in terms of supply demand mismatch potential and shipping. If those costs are internalized, this endpoint production might look a lot better. You buy a part for 50 cents times 10. Waste 9 of em. Currently that costs you 9.50, but you may have just done 20 bucks worth of damage to the planet.
Lol, the damn thing costs $3,500.
Anyone who thinks this will achieve mainstream adoption belongs in a mental hospital.
It's also only an AR device. So while it might have some applicability in certain high-end industry work, it's still going to be exceedingly niche.

If this would be comparable to an industrial revolution, wouldn't it be the third? You know, industrial machines, computers, and then this with AR.
