Thoughts on Augmented Reality?
Okay well as a fun side project, and maybe we might see it these next few years pop up in FIRST, I've been planning on a video HUD for a robot.

Now my question is how whats everybody's thoughts on this kinda of HID (Human Interface Device)?

My view is simple, it makes it easier to drive a robot since you are seeing the first person view of the robot so no incidents like no being able to see because of glare like in 2008 Overdrive, or behind a pile of robots. But there are even other fun things you can do with it
