Forklift Heads-Up Display HoloLens App Concept:

edited May 2017 in Discussion

Hello everyone.
I am working as a Dangerous Goods Materials Handler while I finish my studies as a University Business student primarily to save-up for a HoloLens and pay future tuition...
I was thinking of new use cases for HoloLens at work and it occurred to me that forklift drivers will benefit from HoloLens integration into their work routine, as they work in a limited area which could be spatially scanned, and there is great opportunity for a heads-up display. I researched this and found the following information. I hope this helps. Please discuss with any input, which is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Jaswinder Brar.

    This would not work well with the Hololens. Because of the frame and mast is close to the optical sensors your holograms would not be stable and you would probably end up with a lot of 'trying to map your surroundings' messages. In this case a straight heads-up display like the Daqri would probably be better.

  • @Peter_NZ Thank you for clarifying. I'm glad to learn of these obstacles and I will apply this knowledge in the future. Best regards, Jaswinder Brar.
