Augmented reality compatibility.

Mind blown!!!

Imagine the craft builder in AR! You could walk around your rocket and easily get to what you want to see and edit it while in AR mode.

    True, but you could just turn AR mode off and it would leave your view in the same position. @WNP78

    @MrTaco I never said hololens would be useful. But if you wanted to edit, it would be pretty damn hard cause you'd have to hold the phone in just the right place while editing.

    @WNP78 I didn't say AR kit was the best AR out there. I do think it would be better for SR2 than Hololens. I simply don't see how you could use the Hololens for anything other than viewing it. If you were to be using your phone while in the editor, then tapping on the screen and dragging and dropping parts while in AR mode doesn't seem like it would be hard to do.
    If you know how a head mounted AR would be useful for building a rocket in the editor, would you care to enlighten me?

    @MrTaco "apple's AR kit" is not the best, nor the only AR solution out there. Hololens is basically AR but in front of your eyes. Though it's expensive and OTT for SR2/SP. I can't also see how a non-head-mounted AR would be any use, except for just looking at it...

    @WNP78 I don’t see how it would work with holo lens nor other similar products. Apple’s AR kit seems a better fit in this situation. I don’t think I’m staring at a brick wall. I understand the pros and cons of Apple as well as other companies/products.

    @MrTaco ah, I see you're having trouble seeing outside the apple-sphere. They make it deliberately opaque. How dastardly.

    Also, it would be good to have a cool hangar with details and stuff where you design the spacecraft instead of the grey circle and endless nothingness in SP.

    Oh, well that’s not what I was thinking of. I was imagining it using Apple’s AR kit.@WNP78

    @MrTaco yes. And you can get a headset which has a screen that can go transparent. So you see everything around you, but the headset can also display things on top. Examples

    There is no such thing as an AR headset. VR(Virtual reality) is you in a virtual world. AR is where the virtual object is in the real world. Here is an example of AR@WNP78

    just gonna pretend that anyone has an AR headset. Though it could be a good excuse to try and get a hololens off of microsoft.
