Lady Gaga might be a surprising muse, but her tribute to David Bowie last night at the Grammys showcased the increasing sophistication of augmented reality dash - technology that might soon find its way into an office near you. In fact, just a few days ago, JPL opened up a little bit about how they were using the augmented reality, via HoloLens, to build virtual prototypes for engineers to kick around and play test, without having to physically fabricate a thing.

Just projector mapping.... by Lumpy · 2016-02-16 14:17 · Score: 5, Informative

This has been around forever. and honestly that demo really sucked as it was not able to keep centered on her face. Come on all they needed was to put some IR reference reflectors and some nice fast galvo mirrors on that projector output to keep it within 1/6th of an inch of human movement.
This is the EXACT same tech used to do Gorillaz stage shows.
