Just found an interesting article at the German news site heise.de:
Das US Army Research Laboratory erprobt in Zusammenarbeit mit dem US-Unternehmen Command Sight eine Augmented-Reality-Brille (AR) für Spürhunde, die im Einsatz für das Militär Sprengstoffe, Gase oder andere gefährliche Materialien aufspüren und bei Rettungsaktionen helfen. Über die AR-Brille sollen die "Special Forces Dogs" visuelle Anweisungen aus der Ferne erhalten, um den Hundeführer bei gefährlichen Militär-Einsätzen nicht zu gefährden.


I could find an English text on that topic, too:
The US Army is prepping a pair of augmented reality goggles for dogs that will allow handlers to issue commands from afar as the canines sniff out bombs.

Currently, when dogs go in search of explosives, they rely on their handlers to give them directions via hand signals, laser pointers, or voice. As such, those handlers need to be near their dogs, which can put the handlers in danger.

A company called Command Sight, however, has developed AR goggles for dogs, which will allow handlers to remain out of sight while giving their dogs commands.


Next come Virtual Smell Producers because dogs prefer their noses when searching for something ...
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!
