    AR is (going to be) huge within industrial maintenance, so much time can be saved by having documentation and visual aid/guidance right there I your FOV as you do the work. It has the potential to reduce both required skill level or specific equipment knowledge and massively reduce time spent troubleshooting equipment.

      You may be correct, but I suspect that by the time that we eventually achieve this technological goal, it will be more economically viable to plug it into robotic solutions that mostly take humans out of the loop for such industrial applications. I don’t think any of that is happening soon. I still don’t see a long term path for XR beyond some niche gaming and porn applications.
