>A field technician will have minimal benefit from a heads up targeting display.

I can think of a lot of scenarios where AR would be a great benefit. For example, imagine an electrician running wires through a commercial building and having the wiring path displayed for him. No digging through documentation, measuring, and marking necessary to get the job done. Or imagine fire fighters with AR heads-up displays getting routing information inside building that is smoky and difficult to traverse.

In fact my company is exploring doing that for underground wiring. We're also looking into technicians going into a transmission substation and when looking at the equipment it's overlayed with voltage and temperature gauges with a link to access service manuals.
