Another heavily-funded AR headset startup is shutting down

At Daqri we called this "remote expert", and it was always one of the potential products with the highest demand.

My favorite use-case is that in nuclear power plants, they have two people do everything - one to do, one to watch (not in a big brother sense, but more in like a pair programming sense), but this means two people in an irradiated environment. With the AR tech, the second person can be in another room.

(Although you run into other issues, like no wifi (or power!) inside reactors; although apparently leaky coax is a really effective solution to the first)

Leaky coax is perfect attack vector for bad actors.

Were you working with any human factors or related teams in the nuclear industry?

A couple of times, although I don't remember / know if it was "human factors" or otherwise. Both cases were primarily about letting someone see something where it was dangerous to be, although the first was about the head-mounted cameras and the second about the head-mounted displays.
