No doubt, and certainly adding an extra dimension to the experience. The Hololens arrangement didn’t provide sensory motion but was totally immersive as everywhere you looked or moved to maintained the holographic environment.
Imagine flying over a forest fire using thermal imagery to locate and identify hot spots concealed by dense smoke and directing water bombers to them while adjusting their drops for better accuracy. You “see” the other aircraft, drones, manned, whatever, overlaid on an aerial grid with a 3 dimensional terrain graphic below. The aircraft possessing cameras are transmitting imagery you can see and shift between in addition to yours. If you need to slew their cameras for improved situational awareness you have the ability to do so, without touching a joystick.
The crazy part of the whole thing is it’s not fiction, it’s real and in use. Pretty much takes all the excitement out of minor camera improvements and new app announcements.
