I think this is one area where there can be much promise. Being able to overlay timely and relevant information over the environment, in a way that doesn't require high degrees of pro-active intervention by the user, could help reduce errors and efficiency drains due to context switching in a number of environments. I'm thinking warehouse operations where doing robot stuff like Amazon is too far beyond economic reach, yet you still have to interact with data for directions and work tasking. There are other areas where things like this are intriguing. So long as the device can be made to be otherwise unobtrusive enough, have sufficient power for running full shifts, and are rugged enough, I think there is good potential.

Something I'm taking a look at now.
