Augmented Reality To Help Mechanics Fix Vehicles 81

kkleiner writes "ARMAR, or Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair, is a head mounted display unit that provides graphic overlays to assist you in making repairs. An Android phone provides an interface to control the graphics you view during the process. Published in IEEE, and recently tested with the United States Marine Corps on an armored turret, ARMAR can cut maintenance times in half by guiding users to the damaged area and displaying 3D animations to demonstrate the appropriate tools and techniques."

Another service to stop using. I'd rather pay/subscribe than listen to ads

In that case I would suggest paying for Pandora, and you won't get the ads. It's definitely a service worth paying for - they've introduced me to countless bands and songs I never knew existed. I heard an NPR interview with the founder, and it's really amazing the amount of work that goes into profiling each and every song. I can't believe it's been free for so long, especially the way they get screwed by the royalty fees and legal limitations. I really hope the public in general doesn't respond as you have - "Ads? OMG, Run away!!"

Anyone who has worked with stained glass knows that glass definitely does flow. You normally score a line with the cutter, then break it. If you take a coffee break, or go home for the day and come back and try to break it, most likeley it will not break, because the scored line has flowed back together. It comes down to a matter of degree. I remember that some colors were more sensitive than others, and I don't doubt that modern plate glass flows at an incredibly slow rate, but it probably still flows.
