I have a friend who has augmented reality glasses to operate his augmented arms. A bad accident as a youngster so a certain university agreed to help him with state of the art robotics limbs, which he controlled via a super cool pair of augmented glasses. So advanced they were, that they were used on the Apache attack helicopters for missile aiming and gun aiming. Where ever he looked, his arms went there. A blink of an eye and the hand would grasp, a flick of his eyebrows and his hand released. A glance to the left or right or up or down, and the arms followed.

Wearing these glasses was amazing and what he could do, Wawo! And oddly, he was a motor mechanic for a high end car manufacturer. His nickname was Bendy Toy.

What he could do with these ceramic coated titanium arms and cool augmented glasses was mind blowing when it came to servicing expensive cars.

One never went back again. Something to do with dirty lenses.
