I am very pleased to announce that after months of working here and there in the evenings voluntarily after work hours, I finally completed and presented both my demos of M3 picking lists in Google Glass and Augmented Reality at Inforum. They were a success. I showed the demos to about 100 persons per day during six days flawlessly with very positive reception. The goal was to show proof of concepts of wearable computers and augmented reality applied to Infor M3. My feet hurt.
This is my second Glass app after the one for Khan Academy.
This Glass app has the following features:
I have been making the resulting source code free and open source on my GitHub repository, and I have been writing the details on this blog. I will soon post the remaining details.
I want to specially thanks Peter A Johansson of Infor GDE Demo Services for always believing in my idea, his manager Robert MacCrate for providing the servers on Infor CloudSuite, Philip Cancino formerly of Infor for helping with the functional understanding of picking lists in M3, Marie-Pascale Authié of Infor Pre-Sales for helping me setup and create picking lists in M3 and for also doing the demo at Inforum, Zack Makris of Infor Labs for providing technical support, Jonathan Amiran of Intentia Israel for helping me write the Grid application, and some people of Infor Product Development that chose to remain anonymous for helping me write a Java application for Event Hub and Document Archive. I also want to specially thank all the participants of Inforum whom saw the demo and provided feedback, and all of you readers for supporting me. And I probably missed some important contributors, thank you too. And thanks to Google X (specially Sergey Brin and Thad Starner) for believing in wearable computers and for accelerating the eyewear market.
Here below are the screenshots from androidcast. They show the bundle cover, the three pick list lines with the items to pick, the Confirm custom menu action, the Read aloud action, and the walking directions in the warehouse:
Here below are three vignettes of what the result would look like to a picker:
Here are some photos at Inforum:

Thibaud, I’m sorry I missed seeing you there. It would have been great to see your project. I did a lot of walking there too.

Hi Mike. Yes we missed each other. It was a great demo. I want to show it to you.

[…] Today I will illustrate how I started implementing my proof-of-concept for walking directions in a warehouse, and I will provide the source code. The goal is to show the shortest path a picker would have to walk in a warehouse to complete a picking list and calculate the distance for it. This is most relevant for big warehouses and for temporary staff that are not yet familiar with a warehouse. The business benefit is to minimize picking time, reduce labor costs, increase throughput, and gather performance metrics. I used this for my demo of M3 picking lists in Google Glass. […]
