The GoToWork Team has been busy porting the GoToWork tech support app to the Epson Moverio BT-200. The Moverio offers some significant advantages over Google Glass, which was our initial platform. Specifically, it allows for much better "viewability" - due to the dual-screen display. It also doesn't heat up/shut down the way Google Glass does - since the processing power is in the pocket-sized Control Unit. On the flip side, it is much bulkier and isn't very "wearable" in a consumer sense. In it's current incarnation, we can only envision it being used in industrial settings.
Porting the app is reasonably painless, since both devices are running core Android. In fact, the Moverio is essentially an Android phone running in your viewport.
We will also be porting the Visual Showroom app to the Moverio in the coming weeks - this will enable us to take advantage of the Moverio's superior 3D visualization capabilities.
