Episode 76 of Augmented Reality with Fexingo explores an unexpected frontline for AR glasses: automotive repair training. Lucas and Luna walk through a case study at the Universal Technical Institute, where instructors began using HoloLens 2 headsets in 2025 to teach engine diagnostics. They examine a specific metric: a 34 percent reduction in time-to-competency for students learning to troubleshoot a modern V-6 engine with variable valve timing. The episode contrasts this with traditional textbook-and-mannequin methods, digs into why AR works for kinesthetic learners, and touches on the economics of scaling the program across 12 campuses. Along the way, the hosts discuss why the auto industry's technician shortage — projected at 258,000 unfilled jobs by 2028 — makes this a high-stakes use case. No fluff, just a focused look at one number, one program, one quiet transformation. #AugmentedReality #ARGlasses #AutomotiveRepair #TechnicalTraining #UniversalTechnicalInstitute #HoloLens2 #EngineDiagnostics #SkillsGap #TechnicianShortage #VocationalEducation #SpatialComputing #WorkforceDevelopment #KinestheticLearning #CarRepair #AutomotiveIndustry #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
