The enterprise applications are endless as well. Imagine doctors and surgeons being able to literally see inside a patient and better diagnose or treat illness. Imagine engineers to better design tools or products when they can essentially "see" and "use" it in reality. We're talking civil engineers designing bridges based on real-world spaces, or mechanical engineers being able to 3D model in half the time. Even markets can use the Holo Lens to design better targeted advertisements or create less invasive, more effective advertisements. Sure, I'm over simplifying it, but this tool is going to be immensely helpful in a lot of enterprise fields
The specific and hyper-focused use-cases are truly exciting, but think there is actually a wider application for AR.
The ergonomics of staring at monitors for as long as people do each day (if staring at a monitor is your job especially) develops serious long-term problems in many people (and staring at a laptop or smartphone away from work is really no better). Monitors also define all work-spaces, and how we perceive 'the office'.....whereas productivity does increase by making the workplace more enjoyable/comfortable, and decreasing medical/insurance costs from being tied to a monitor all day (reduced sick-day use, etc).
Cost and bulkiness of course isn't there yet, but as they reduce to a smaller amount and size, these along with other ways of organizing workflow with the freedom and tools it would offer will be able to justify its price, even in general office environments. Communications and resource sharing alone, more effectively organized to allow for better multitasking with unlimited monitor real estate easily allows for increased productivity in a sizeable subset of the workforce, again helping to justify the costs.
I look forward to hearing of real-world applications as it grows......certainly exciting.
