windscreen?, windows? buildings, glass walls?)
Sci-fi? Not New…• Augmented Reality apps• Military
What is New?• Consumerization of
sci-fi R&D device (trend)• Wearable device • Integration with
data, services• New business opportunities:
Mobile, BYOD, COIT• Another Mobile option? More than that…
Possible Use Cases / Opps• CRM• Infield service – glass-based maps, geo-location, information, customer
information, knowledge based access. • Sales management: Analytics, predictive power in real-time• Multilingual customers: Google Translate, NLP
• Learning device in-situ• Gaming• True mobile; cars, bikers,
pedestrians, home viewing• Fashion? Skinning?• Geo-location ads, maps,
information,MT, analytics, big data…
• Lots possible – go beyond the device, explore the dataintegrations, APIs, services…

Conclusion / Call to Action• Exciting, consumer-driven integration of BYOD and data
possibilities• Costly for individual developers• Great business, learning, data and services innovation possible• Love to see Ireland-based group exploring device and data
