Five years ago I started looking for a HUD to use in paintball. I wanted it to display a compas, GPS, and thermal imaging overtop of the real image for night.

As it turns out, the US is still selling those 40 year old gren night vision sets (obnoxiously large) but I can find some small HUD glasses made in tiny little war torn Israel.

Chop Chop.

Image recognition based AR would take longer time.. But most of these days’ mobile Apps like wikitude or layar are based on accelermeter & GPS, which makes more sense.
Then, my question is how much POI coverage is needed to become an attractive service..
Wikitude’s 350,000 POI worldwide…no way!

Those demos are cute, but most of the ones I have seen are redundant at best, temperamental at worst.

I am convinced the first applications that will really take off will be in industrial and commercial markets where they can actually help save time and money. In some cases the user won’t even be aware of the camera, sensors and vision system crunching away inside the tool. It will just collect data, point the way, etc. — simple interface to a complex system.

I am working on some specific ideas along those lines, with a big player in the market to bounce ideas off. Looking for computer vision/AR hackers to join a team!
