[ExI] pokemon go further

Lockheed Martin is experimenting with technology from NGRAIN for this
purpose in the F-35 assembly line(which may not be the best example, given
the cost overruns associated with that program).

NGRAIN was using Epson Moverios(head mounted displays with sensors) early
last year, but they may have moved to a new platform like HoloLens. They
have an Android public demo you can find here:

As Adrian alluded to above, this is more about the scut work to
characterize and library all the necessary procedures and objects in
sufficient detail, the sensors and cv is probably up to the task (although
as the number of objects possible to recognize between goes up, errors go
up as well, unless intelligent error correction and pruning is used).
