Isn't that one of the enterprise cases where it's actually been used?

Having schematics directly overlayed onto something I'm working on seems pretty helpful to me.

I'm not sure it's actually being used, beyond C suite wanting something cool to happen and pretending it did happen.

have you ever done any kind of fine-detail repair on anything? electronics, something with tiny screws, fixing paint on a decal.. anything like that?

minority report floating holograms sure might be useful for this, “random-ass non specialised hardware shoved on your face” is decidedly more of a diceroll

Well the OP talks about a fridge.

I think if anything it's even worse for tiny things with tiny screws.

What kind of floating hologram is there gonna be that's of any use, for something that has no schematic and the closest you have to a repair manual is some guy filming themselves taking apart some related product once?

It looks cool in a movie because it's a 20 second clip in which one connector gets plugged, and tens of person hours were spent on it by very talented people who know how to set up a scene that looks good and not just visually noisy.

Yes?

Having shit clearly labeled would be incredibly helpful.

Back when I was still on Reddit, I encountered a post saying that they are used in airplane maintenance. They might have specified that their experience was with the military or I might be misremembering that part.

I have no experience in this area and cannot vouch for the veracity of the claim, just wanted to let you know that I have seen something that supports your theory.

edit: Sentences make way more sense when you use the right word and not a completely incorrect one.
