The bumpy road of bringing wearable augmented reality systems to market

Abstract

Wearable Augmented Reality systems are still expensive niche products and not yet widespread. Three main components need to be available for a successful market entry: affordable and user-friendly hardware; reliably and easy to use software and SDKs; and the necessary data structure for exact and informative augmentation. This paper lists some lessons-learned along the road to a wearable AR market.
