Farhad report on TC UK: ~150 participants from all over Europe. Took handouts (same as from CIDM Best Practices) to "Fringe event". 30 minutes to present the Huawei AR demo and the ARIP efforts. Genuine interest and lots of comments, especially on the software and training scenarios. Comment: AR will be especially useful in training procedures when cost of mistakes or risk are very high.
