Hi,
I currently design AR glasses and might be able to shed some light. Forgive me but i cringe a bit when i see people lumping VR and AR. Both are very different in my estimate. And therefore require different design approaches. As im sure you have seen VR didnt quite have the impact everyone expected/thought. Curious to see if AR will. Vr is a completely immersive experience, while AR mixes digital with real world. Totally different optics systems, different interface experiences, different human interaction etc. Currently we can take my solidworks designs and project them into the real world to view and critique by AR. Example testing new glasses designs on people heads thru AR. Dont see any real benefit of designing fully immersed in AR or VR for that matter. Instead of a new software flow i would much prefer using CAD models in placing them into real space easier. Personally the stuff i see coming out of VR drawing apps is pretty garbage and more just for fun. Exciting, interesting but of little value. As cyberdemon rightly pointed out is pretty fatigue inducing and pretty clumsy. Definitely could use some help witht that experience. I would personally be interested in things to help the workflow from desktop CAD/ visual program to 3d space. Pretty clunky currently (DOF, viewing angles, resolution, FOV are different across all devices ) Another interesting angle would be being able to take my design i do in solidworks then be able to to push and pull designs in 3d space. Or a device that doesnt require people to be wearing devices on their heads just to view a form. I personally believe VR for most people for the next few years wont be of much use or value (aside from gaming) whereas AR has a lot more room to expand, (everyday wearables).
