Ar

They are a neat AR (augmented reality) device. So, for example, you could load your flight plan and it's projected in front of you where to go. Horizon could also be projected so flying in bad wx becomes much easier. In fact good wx vis could be projected so it looks like flying in overlayed vmc.

Imagine approaching an airfield and repeating pattern entry instructions "join 24 right hand circuit" which is displayed directly in front of you.

Tcas could be projected too, to highlight traffic.

The software development system is out already and I thought it was kind of amazing. Expect a lot of app development from small developers similar to iPhone.

Although I admit I did open up by poking fun at the, often, inert conservatism of the flying community.
