"Augmented Reality" For the Assembly Line

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the cyborg-workers dept.

silkySlim writes "EETimes has a short article about a combination data goggles and earpiece device to replace big manuals and reduce training time for assembly line workers. 'In one possible scenario, a technician with data goggles bends over the engine block of a luxury car and removes the covering. He is receiving instructions through an ear piece telling him what to do next while his data goggles mark the screws and bolts on which he must next place his tool.' Apparently, it's already in use by several automotive companies. There's some additional papers also available."

    P.S. To keep this post on-topic, the GNAA uses a similar approach to training new members. Our goggles employe a very accurate Gay-Dar (tm), that points out of various niggers on the street are straight, or gay. The gay niggers are recruited, of course.

      They sat down together at the Gryffmdor table.

      'Obviously, I'd have been thrilled if I'd got an "O" -'

      'Hermione,' said Ron sharply 'if you want to know what grades we got, ask.' : -'

      'I don't - I didn't mean - well, if you want to tell me -' -

      'I got a "P",' said Ron, ladling soup into his bowl. 'Happy?'

      'Well, that's nothing to be ashamed of,' said Fred, who had just arrived at the table with George and Lee Jordan and was sitting down on Harry's right. 'Nothing wrong with a good healthy "P".'

      'But,' said Hermione, 'doesn't "P" stand for..."

      '"Poor", yeah,' said Lee Jordan. 'Still, better than "D", isn't it? "Dreadful"?'

      Harry felt his face grow warm and faked a small coughing fit over his roll. When he emerged from this he was sorry to find that Hermione was still in full flow about OWL grades.

      'So top grade's "O" for "Outstanding",' she was saying, 'and then there's "A" -'

      'No, "E",' George corrected her, '"E" for "Exceeds Expectations". And I've always thought Fred and I should've got "E" in everything, because we exceeded expectations just by turning up for the exams.'

      They all laughed except Hermione, who ploughed on, 'So, after "E" it's "A" for "Acceptable", and that's the last pass grade, isn't it?'

      'Yep,' said Fred, dunking an entire roll in his soup, transferring it to his mouth and swallowing it whole.

      Then you get "P" for "Poor"-' Ron raised both his arms in mock celebration - 'and "D" for "Dreadful".'

      'And then "T",' George reminded him.

      'T"?' asked Hermione, looking appalled. 'Even lower than a "D"? What on earth does "T" stand for?'

      'Troll",' said George promptly.

      "You do not seek to kill me, Dumbledore?" called Voldemort, his scarlet eyes narrowed over the top of the shield. "Above such brutality, are you?"

      "We both know that there are others ways of destroying a man, Tom," Dumbledore said calmly, continuing to walk toward Voldemort as though he had not a fear in the world, as though nothing had happened to interrupt his stroll up the hall. "Merely taking your life would not satisfy me, I admit --"

      "There is nothing worse than death, Dumbledore!" snarled Voldemort.
