Cars may display realtime traffic information or highlight stop signs on windshields, phones may be able to help finding directions. Prototypes of that kind are coming, as showed in the following video of an upcoming AR application helping to find its way in the NY subway : Mobilizy's wikitude is another application (this time on Android based phones) that show informations from wikipedia on the user's surroundings. AR Games are coming too : here's a video of a tower defense game on Nokia N95. Maybe one day, I'll be able to commute with a Wipeout UI clone on my windshield (two post on this blog, both talking about that game??) It's going to be fun.]]> Augmented reality (AR) – blending computer generated/gathered data into viewports like screens, glasses, phones and such – is something big, soon part of our everyday life.
