Google Glass may have been an embarrassing failure, but augmented reality had found something of a niche among large manufacturers, according to PC World:

The world’s largest aircraft maker, Boeing is also giving augmented reality a shot. The company has used the technology to help technicians navigate the thousands of wires needed to connect a plane’s electrical systems, or “wire harnesses,” as they are called.
