So I’ll chime back in as we have some experienced users here.

In comments about AR for businesses, Google glass did just what you are talking about; assisting in training, location services, and integration into functional business uses. They did this very well and they were glasses. Apples are still a couple years out.

The issues were cost, battery life, and acceptance. As well as the issue of practical application for each business (the backend is really where all the work is). I worked with a developer on a HoloLens project “anchoring” displays to certain rooms so the same displays would be visible in each room entered and across users. There is a lot of possibilities here across all functions especially in augmented safety, training, and instant access to information.

IMHO Apple probably has the best shot at long term viability in this space as other manufacturers let politics compromise the offering, but they need to be like glasses, not ski goggles, and you need all day battery life, or the ability to seamless change to another pair without losing the personal functions you have already been using.

I am excited to see where this goes, but it really sits with the developers, integrators and access to massive DB’s and AI.
