Augmented Reality Gets X-Ray Vision Upgrade with Microsoft's HoloLens
MIT researchers have developed an augmented reality (AR) technology called X-AR, which uses a flexible antenna to locate specific objects outside the wearer's line of sight, as long as they're marked with a radio frequency identification tag and less than 15 feet away. The technology could be used in warehouses, shipping, retail, and other places where RFID tags are commonly used. It could also have potential applications in determining food safety and aiding search and rescue efforts.
