I seriously wonder, do any of the folks with the "AR glasses to assist repair" thing ever actually repair anything, or do they get their ideas of how you repair stuff from computer games?

I repair anything I can and I think the AR assistance sounds awesome. Especially when its for something I've never tackled before... In fact for me personally, it sounds like its by far the best use case of AR

on paper it sounds great (as I’ve already alluded to in a previous comment). as always, the devil is in the details. and I’d bet cold hard money on this being oversold/overhyped bullshit, once again
