I’ve failed to see to whole point of AR. Yes, it’s cool. Yes, you can have realtime reviews of a restaurant popup automatically on screen and the oh-so-cool traesure hunts for kids. But the difference between the amount of time spend developing it and actually getting something useful out of it, is not even close. I predict that we are going to have it properly implemented to our lives in a few years time, but it’s gonna be just another toy, not a serious interface application.

Tao recently told me about this Japanese animation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denn%C5%8D_Coil that deals with AR. It’s quite interesting how much integrated in the social life it is.
