It looks like a mapping company is integrating their underground pipe maps into an augmented reality experience.
As time goes on, how will we integrate GPS data and IMU data to get a more accurate head tracking algorithm in the real world? GPS right now is just too slow with too little resolution. Maybe some optical recognition with a little bit of help from Google street view will work in city areas for more precise positioning.

Interesting concept, but the tracking could use a lot of work.
Also, that Vuzix headset comes nowhere close to providing a full field of view. Kinda lost credibility at that part.
