Here's a fascinating clip depicting some basic applications for augmented reality.



I anticipate a future in which AR constructs co-exist with "real" objects to such a degree that we spend little time considering the distinction. Imagine growing up in a world teeming with AR-derived applications, only to discover that beneath the ocean of embedded computation is something online commentators once half-jokingly referred to as "meatspace."

Ah, but there will be a lower class who can't experience the agumented reality because they can't afford the digital premium,not to mention those who find ways of opting out or subverting the augmentation with culture-jamming methods.
