Everyday AR is my platform to share projects, insights, and the practical side of AR glasses. I’m here to inspire, educate, and entertain—making AR accessible by cutting through the tech jargon and showing how it can fit into real life. Whether you’re curious or already an AR enthusiast, Everyday AR is about exploring how this technology can make everyday things better. I also help bring others’ AR ideas to life, making this exciting tech useful for everyone.

Why, thank you for asking! :) Safety is a top priority. Some of the AR glasses I use, like Microsoft’s HoloLens 2, are ANSI-rated as safety glasses and have transparent lenses, so I can see everything around me. While not all AR glasses have the same safety rating, I always follow strict protocols: staying aware of my surroundings, using tools as intended, and double-checking before starting. Appreciate you looking out!
Currently, I spend most of my time building for Apple’s Vision Pro. I’ve also spent years working with both generations of Microsoft’s HoloLens, and I’ve had positive experiences with Meta’s Quest, Magic Leap (Gen 1), and Lenovo's ThinkReality A3.
Expect a collaborative process, where we’re on the same team. I follow a straightforward process called U-IPE (rolls off the tongue 🤓): Understanding, Ideation, Prototyping, and Evaluation. Here’s how it goes:
Once we have a clear path, I provide budget options, scope, and timelines. If everything aligns, we move forward. It’s all about creating a successful outcome, start to finish.
No. While doctors are skilled professionals, they likely can't help you here. Instead, take a look at how hands-free AR glasses differ from mobile AR and the unique benefits they offer. If these don’t apply, a mobile AR solution might be more appropriate and cost-effective for your needs.
Is Having Your Hands Free Important?
Benefit - AR glasses enable hands-free use, unlike mobile AR that requires one hand to hold the device and another to interact with the screen.
In practice - Maintenance technicians view digital schematics overlaid on machinery while both hands perform repairs..
Is Natural Interaction Crucial?
Benefit - AR glasses offer hand gesture and eye-guided controls, making interaction more natural compared to tapping on a mobile screen.
In practice - Surgeons intuitively navigate medical imaging using natural hand gestures without the distractions of looking at or touching a tablet screen.
Is Accurate Perception Key?
Benefit - Being surrounded by true 3D visuals in AR glasses gives you an accurate feel of distance, depth, and scale of objects and environments. With mobile, you are still looking at a single small flat screen.
In practice - Football quarterbacks using highly realistic simulations run drills to react to defensive schemes and coverages, mimicking exactly what they’ll see on Sunday, greatly improving their game-time decision-making.
Do You Value Enhanced Immersion?
Benefit - A larger field of view in AR glasses provides a more engaging experience than the restricted view on mobile AR. When wearing glasses, you are in the action. When using mobile, you are looking at a small window into the digital world the size of a notebook or deck of cards.
In practice - Situational training becomes more immersive, aiding in learning retention. Muscle memory and spatial connections are also trained.
Is Persistent Display Necessary?
Benefit - AR glasses keep the digital world in sight with no interruptions. On mobile, you need to continue to hold the device in front of you. This gets uncomfortable within a few minutes; even more so when using a tablet.
In practice - General contractors specializing in kitchen remodels can have their customers walk and explore new layout designs perfectly overlaid over their current kitchen, getting a realistic feel for the space without the nagging arm pain.
Are You Preparing for the Future of Computing?
Benefit - AR glasses are the next computing shift, while mobile AR is more of a bridge to that future.
In practice - Embracing AR glasses not only provides the most impactful AR experience, but also prepares you for the future of computing, ensuring your business stays ahead of the curve.
In the years to come, AR glasses will have a profound effect on how we work, play, and get things done. Let’s not talk hypotheticals. Let’s craft the vision, roll up our sleeves, and build that reality!
