Sounds like a lack of imagination.

Construction - Show size/length of objects, show if object is level, highlight location of needed tool.

Navigation - Show arrow on top of uber/lyft, show directions. Show restaurant cleanliness score and rating.

Food safety - Show how long food has been out of fridge

Social - remind you of a persons name

There was an MIT startup years ago, based on the observation that for some (impaired?) population, when glasses flashed a name, if it was correct, name recall improved, but if it was wrong, there was no negative impact. So low-accuracy recognition was ok.
