How big is 'plenty' I wonder? I see videos like this that look like fancy tech demos all the time, but I'm hesitant to claim this somehow demonstrates AR has found a meaningfully sized market in an industry.

Personally, I'd put money on the number of people using HoloLens outside of dev teams in applications like this being in the low hundreds/thousands, but would love to be shown data to the contrary. Cool youtube videos unfortunately do not really indicate anything.

Concur, as a Microsoft partner we had one of the first 7 Hololens. We made exactly 3 sales with it ... Of Hololens development. Though one was for a training cave that served thousands of new hires a year, so maybe one more order of magnitude in total?

But it brought a ton of clients in the door, so mission accomplished.
