> Is any AR/VR company working on anything like that?

Probably every AR/VR company not working on games.

Which ones would that be? Of the top of my head I only know of the Hololens being developed mostly for professional use, any other AR/VR tech is all gaming, gaming, gaming.

Oh, I did not imply that there are any, just that the only largish applications besides games and "experiences" are probably fancy vanity applications for businesses.

It seems like a smart space to try to develop something for. On the business side though, most of what I've seen are flashy and would probably get used less than a dozen times before being ditched for being to cumbersome.

Actually just had a meeting with a company that develops VR experiences for events/product demos/etc. I'm still on the fence whether it's useful or a gimmick though.
