VMware Could Bring Augmented Reality to Data Management Customers
Augmented Reality may not be the first tool that comes to mind to assist them but data managers and those who offer solutions to those professionals realize that occasionally one must step into the data center to resolve issues that can’t be addressed remotely in software. And when facing dozens or hundreds of racks that look identical, the technician needs more than a paper map to be sure to address the problem without error. In this analysis of a recently published patent released on the Declassified blog, VMware proposes to use Augmented Reality to visually overlay information that will help technicians find their way around the humming maze of identical-looking racks and cabinets.
