That's my take, too--it would be infinitely more useful in a work environment.

I can imagine how having a HUD could be useful while programming, even though I have two screens in front of me already.

I can also imagine how it would make certain elements of interacting with people working remotely--like seeing what someone's doing, whether it's programming in a terminal or sketching on a pad--so much easier.

That said, it'd definitely stay in an office drawer after-hours.

I love the idea of "shared views" when you're having meetings or collaborating with people. Whatever document or supplementary set of data you're talking about is on the entire groups HUD.

Would you be able to read a document on that little HUD though? The size seems more suited to Google Now cards and such.
