Augmented Reality is almost here
Today’s buzzword is Augmented Reality.
The technical definition is, “a display in which simulated imagery, graphics, or symbology is superimposed on a view of the surrounding environment.”
In plain English, Augmented Reality allows you to view things in the real world with computer graphics and text added to it.
There are already a variety of AR applications in development. iPhone application developers are working on apps that can help you find friends, taxis, bathrooms, restaurants and dating prospects by overlaying information over the view captured by the phone’s camera.
