Only looks like he's added a camera to record from his eye's POV. I want Terminator vision or maybe Bender vision!

They make a tool for mechanics that allows you to download schematics, flowcharts, and the like for repairs onto a PDA that you carry, and uses a HUD-type display (hanging from a visor or showing on your eye protection) to let you scan through the data you've got pulled on that model of car while you're underneath or inside of it. Pretty nifty, although I hear the price tag is still several thousand dollars.

thing is that this is basicly the start of AR glasses

all one then need to add is a data-source with a wireless internet connection.

I believe this is what you're refering to.

I can see applications for this in the engineering/construction industry. Just download the building plans and details into your comlink and build the connections based on a 3-d rendering overlayed on the materials you are using...
