Systems and methods for utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) processes to track cables among a tangled bundle of cables are provided. An AR method, according to one implementation, includes a step of obtaining an initial captured image showing a bundle of cables. The AR method also includes the step of processing the initial captured image to distinguish a selected cable from other cables of the bundle of cables. Also, the AR method includes displaying the initial captured image on a display screen while visually augmenting an image of the selected cable to highlight the selected cable with respect to the other cables.
