Summary
This project was one of a series which aims to bring the benefits of augmented reality to the red meat industry. The investigation was performed to understand the potential applications of the technology to the red meat industry specifically to the following topics; Google glass platform, google glass experience, applicability of the google glass platform to the Aus red meat industry and the potential projects which may be performed with this technology. The investigation found the Google Glass 2 is a good platform compared to its peers with significant computational power for size and excellent usability, making it a significant step forward for the smart glasses industry.
Objectives
As part of MLA and Wiley’s dual initiatives to bring AR to the industry this project endeavoured to investigate and understand the latest technology and the potential development of new applications for the platform.
Key findings
The Glass does have its limitations in overheating and software maturity, but it represents a major step forward for consumer augmented reality platforms Of the project concepts proposed in the preceding
Benefits to industry
The Google Glass Enterprise Edition is be far the most capable augmented reality smart glasses platform yet tested by Wiley. While Wiley doesn’t expect this platform to play a major role in the red meat industry, it can be said with confidence that it is a good test bed for further experimentation and development.
MLA action
No further action required.
Future research
Due to the limited processing power, small screen and sub optimal camera the potential of the current iteration of the Google Glass is limited. The Google Glass best suits implementations that fall into the following categories that are deserving of further research:
- Guided process which can be implemented in 12 weeks.
- Data capture which can be performed in 14 weeks.
- Remote mentoring which can be performed in 8 weeks.
