The Conversation
In this conversation, Remi explores some of the key use cases she’s seeing for the Moverio AR glasses, including uses around flying drones, remote assistance, education, HR, entertainment, and even art.
We talk through some industry projections, and discuss what’s necessary for AR glasses to breakthrough to ubiquity. In addition to wearability and interoperability, Remi goes on to describe the importance of capability and privacy.
She also talks about the challenges and responsibilities of being a good hardware product manager, as well as a couple of breaks she took during her career.
