Overlay is cool, but largely unobtainium for most. For now.

I still use a flir pocket thermal monocular, on patrols etc it is super useful for scanning open/linear danger areas prior to crossing.

Out here in the desert thermals effectiveness is pretty limited once it gets hot. Human body, 98⁰, 100⁰ ambient temp at night plus all the rocks that have been baking in the sun all day hold heat all night, you can actually hide fairly well from most thermal imagers.
