ABSTRACT
People today are using augmented reality to analyze complex molecular geometry, perform surgery, and figure out how the weather works. Some groups are also experimenting with augmented reality in more everyday settings. Today’s technology is frequently pretty awkward, heavy, and obtrusive. But soon enough we’ll reach the day when we all can pop on a pair of glasses with little computer displays embedded within them, and they’ll be in wireless contact with a fancy portable computer in our pocket or backpack, or even sewn into our belt. The glasses will also have cameras on them, so the computer can see what we’re seeing.
