Once they perfect AR (probably via contact lenses or light glasses) I think it will have a massive impact on our lifestyles.<p>Right now, if we have a problem, we can use the internet via cellphone to look up the issue and a solution. Imagine how much more convenient it would be to have that just built into your vision. Imagine virtual PC terminals, wherever you are. Imagine a massive virtual TV in your house... Anywhere in your house. Or on the bus. Or anywhere.<p>I watched an anime (Dennou Coil) that really made me see the possibilities of AR. Once we get to that point, I think there will be massive changes in our society.<p>TVs and PCs for instance. Right now, we think of them as a physical object that displays video, etc. But they don't -need- to be a physical object. (Well, the processor does, but it doesn't have to be where we can see it. Or even in our house.)<p>Your AR glasses would be your tv, phone, radio, internet connection, and more... And they will probably blend together so we don't think of them like that any more.
