So I stumbled across this article in the recent edition of the Atomic magazine.
What is A.R?
Well from what I've read it's adding visuals via a set of glasses to your environment around you. These visuals line up with what you're seeing.
Say if you're in a big city looking for a pie shop, pizza shop or hot dog stand. Just plug into the pad what you're looking for and a big arrow may light up pointing in the direction of the nearest one. I think this would even be useful for mothers looking for their kids.. have some sort of tracking device on the kids. If they get seperated from the parent just activate your A.R gear to point in the direction of where they are and off you go.
Companys could put up 'A.R' Boards that the employees could look at. Or perhaps just send a message to each employees inbox where it'd come up via A.R for the to read at a chosen date.
Personally I wouldn't mind a pair.. maybe when they become abit more fashionable and 'stylish' so to speak. I don't think i'd like to walk around with a large pair of black rimmed glasses on. But you can count me in when they get to that stage for the consumer
