I'm thinking the killer app might be more along the lines of personal use. A HUD for your car or directions to that Egyptian spice I can never find in the grocery. Or measuring the height of your refrigerator to see if will fit under you cabinets. What about hooking it up to my door camera so I can see who's at my front door while I'm in the garage.
Then there are general functional improvements, like dynamic magnification. I would love to read the tiny text on my prescription bottles. Or integrate it with Alex/HomeKit to provide a visual output for those services: "Alexa, what does Brian Singer look like?"
I know "professional" use is easier to sell to, but I think AR won't really be successful until they start making it useful to normal, household users.
All of these can already be done with a mobile phone and only navigation could make the case that it is better with an AR HUD and even then I’m not sure I really buy it based on my personal experience doing so.
