I'd love to see this app for it. I call it real life screen sharing!

Take any task you need to do;

say change a tire. You post a request to the internet for help. Someone agrees to help you. Then they see on their screen what you are seeing through the glasses. They can talk you through doing whatever you need to do, and perhaps even point to places on the screen and it will highlight that area in your view screen.

Think how many repairs we're reasonably competent to make if only an expert would look over your shoulder and you could ask questions!




Not just "someone willing to help" but also customer support, tutoring, medical emergencies, bomb diffusing... The monetization force is strong with this one.


I think it's a great idea. For mundane tasks like changing tire, setting up a printer (just thinking out loud), even a prerecorded video overlay can be of great help to many. Create this service. Can expand.
