I work in IP (patents) and come across a lot of new tech, but I’m not a developer myself. I recently had an idea for an AR application that I think could be really useful, even if it’s a bit niche. If anyone is interested in hearing about it, I’d love to pitch the idea and let you take it from there. Just send me a message if you’re interested.
I’m guessing, by the phrasing here, this isn’t a for-pay job?
No, but I’m also not looking for someone to build an app for free for me. It would be mostly yours. I’m in IP, so I’m working on a patent application for the concept and will ensure there’s a clear agreement that you’re satisfied with.
That sounds fair. Just making sure it’s clear!
Hi. I’m not a developer, but I know many. If there’s something like your idea already out there, I might know about it. Plenty of links about me in here: Maith: the Nice and Clear Tour of Japan 2025 | by Stephen Black | Jan, 2025 | Medium
It would be an enhanced vision thing, with possible applications as a visual aid. I did some searching and found a similar idea floated here before, but with key differences. Most existing research seems to be manufacturing-based, overlaying structural or health info onto an object.
Hmm… can you define ‘visual aid’? There’s a lot online about AR projects meant to help the visually impaired. That’s not what you mean, right?
It was in the previous examples I mentioned, but there are other use cases.
