How does AR help anything? What problems does AR solve? At least with face camera + Clearview I could become the world's greatest politician / bounty hunter.

Actually nevermind I saw this sick demo on Reddit of an AR putting assistant but I think they had to strap a depth camera on the device. So AR means mini golf pro?

A phenomenal use case that would be enabled by simple AR is overlays for signs in foreign language and "subtitles" for foreign languages. This would be incredible during travel. Much better than pulling your phone out to look at signs, menus etc.

The “subtitles” could also serve as IRL Closed Captioning for folks who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Okay, so a nice hearing aid / babel fish. My mom might like these.

it helps keep want to develop for them or wear them at all
