Ask HN: Anyone Using Augmented Reality, VR, Glasses, Helmets etc. in Industry?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-28 05:12:35

Since Google Glass made its debut in 2012, there's been a fair amount of hype around augmented reality and related tech coming into its own in industry, presumably enhancing worker productivity and capabilities. But I've heard and seen so little use in any industries. I would have thought at a minimum that having access to hands-free information retrieval (e.g. blueprints, instructions, notes, etc), video chat and calls for point-of-view sharing, etc would be quite useful for a number of indust

Managing time when time doesn't exist

The Ultimate Productivity Paradox Imagine explaining to your boss why you’re late for a meeting because time doesn’t actually exist. Not in the philosophical “time is a social construct” sense that gets you invited to fewer dinner parties, but in the rigorous scientific sense where quantum gravity’s most fundamental equations contain absolutely no time variable whatsoever.

I just finished porting pigz from Unix to Windows (you can download pre-compiled binaries ). This article describes how I did it.

Facepalm: China recently unveiled its first gaming GPU, the Lisuan G100. Built on a 6nm process, the card was touted as a potential rival to Nvidia's RTX 4060. However, a recent Geekbench listing suggests its performance is closer to that of the 13-year-old GeForce GTX 660 Ti or the 10-year-old Radeon R9 370. The listing also appears to reveal shockingly anemic specifications, including just 32 Compute Units, 256 MB of VRAM, and a 300 MHz GPU clock. Overall, the card managed a score of only 15,
