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?

Isn't that one of the enterprise cases where it's actually been used?

Having schematics directly overlayed onto something I'm working on seems pretty helpful to me.

I'm not sure it's actually being used, beyond C suite wanting something cool to happen and pretending it did happen.
