Augmented Reality means that the computer mixes virtual realities to the physical world. A nice development for even nicer concepts.Augmented Reality means that the computer mixes virtual realities to the physical world. A nice development for even nicer concepts.

Augmented Reality fits exactly in our trend named transreality. This is where the physical world comes together/merges with the virtual world. A good example and one from which I expect a lot is NOKIA MARA. We wrote already about this on Extend Limits. But of course there are many more initiatives. Just look at the YouTube movies and imagine how the world might look like when Augmented Reality is a everyday reality.
In the near future we will be able to imitate the consequences of decisions in the present for the future. Just think about adjustments on physical products which can be easily and efficient (low costs) translated by Augmented Reality. So before you decide to change your kitchen you can walk through the new kitchen by Augmented Reality. The world will be become even more visual and interactive then today. Augmented Reality will also change the way we learn and make thinks sexier and easier to learn. We call this Technology Enhanced Learning. By the way, soon I will write a post about the future of primary schools because of a session I did at a Dutch primary school. The realisation of Augmented Reality is very near and it will become more and more available for the consumer because of the every reducing prices for the necessary technology and the advances in computing power. So how do you see the future of Augmented Reality?

a thousand tomorrows
The possible applications of augmented reality are manifold indeed. Labs and companies across the world are dreaming up new possible scenarios of use each day. In a sense, augmented reality is only one element in a growing mixed-reality world, which includes mixed applications of augmented reality, augmented virtuality and virtual reality. I recently blogged a few lines about this over at 'a thousand tomorrows' as well: http://www.pantopicon.be/blog/2007/02/24/soap-opera-shopping-and-beyond/-----

Een unieke documentaire waar je ook echt even voor moet zitten want hij duurt zo'n 12 uur. Maar het onderwerp van de documentaire is dan ook eindeloos zou je kunnen zeggen. The reality of me wil onze wereld waarin we leven op een eenvoudige manier beschrijven.
Als het gaat om slim gebruikmaken van technologische mogelijkheden dan is 2012 goed begonnen. Al in de eerste week belooft Albert Heijn ons, dankzij technologie, alleen nog aanbiedingen te doen waar je wat aan hebt. Dus geen vlees in de bonus voor vegetariërs, wel een aanbieding voor gebak op je verjaardag. Steeds vaker worden we door een grondige analyse van ons gedrag, op maat bediend.
In het kader van toch wel opvallende app's kwam ik recent de If I Die app tegen. Bizarre app die toch wel eens succesvol kan zijn.
Het is een bekend fenomeen. De kracht van de computer om ons mensen er nog mooier maar vaak onechter uit te laten zien. Filmproducent Jesse Rosten creëerde een 'parodie commercial' omtrent de maatschappelijke normen en waarden rondom schoonheid en de rol van de schoonheidsindustrie hierin.
Het internet heeft sinds haar ontstaan veel veranderingen teweeg gebracht. Google is hieromtrent een speciale website gestart die moet uitgroeien tot een uiterst interessante verzameling van wetenswaardigheden over de impact van het internet.

I read your post about augmented reality, a good one with also nice examples. Your right augmented reality is just one devellopment in a world where technology is changing the whole world rapidly. The future we will see is (what I call) transreality. The seemless integration of the virtual world with the physical world.
