Looks like a future development video, therefore i doubt that it is in normal line use yet. But interesting, the HMD looks kinda similar to the microsoft hololens and is actually in a way an augmented reality display. Something that we probably will see in a lot of aircraft in the future. Always wondered why commercial aviation OEMs were not working on something like that, GA versions of something similar have been in the works for the last 5 or 8 years by now, albeit with little results so far.

Should be much cheaper than a HUD, offers greater flexibility and much more options, not to mention a pretty much unlimited field of view and more and interesting information (airspace structure anyone? Can be very interesting at some airports).
