My guess at the killer app for AR is airplane maintenance.

Imagine a physical checklist where areas get highlighted, arrows to direct you to the next step, and a little red icon that goes green when you're done.

I think this could shave real time (maybe a third?) off airframe downtime while keeping the very high accuracy requirement. That would save actual money.

This already exists

Cool!

Is there anything I could read about that? I'm taking your word for it, I would just find that interesting.

Or do you mean "this already exists but isn't in AR goggles"? Because I can see where my phrasing was unclear, I mean this mounted in an AR HUD.

I personally also worked on similar systems for industrial factory equipment repair.
