@dexhiv Although the concept of motiontracking is indeed not new at all, realtime motiontracking is still quite just stepping from the green fields.

This will be fantastic for business presentations for example, so it will be fun as practical.

I love AR, brings whole new meaning to 3D.

Definitely a lot of possibilities here.

I can see so many great things coming from AR. This was awesome and inspiring.

There's a game called Parallel Kingdom for the iPhone that is an MMORPG that uses Google maps to drop enemies in the geographic location, I can foresee there being MMORPGS like that or WOW that overlay enemies and other game elements in Augmented Reality - People will probably dress up in cosplay and they travel around to play and they might even have real battles with other people they encounter.

Lightweight head-mounted displays will be the driver for some absolutely incredible augmented reality applications. One potential manufacturer would be MicroVision with their laser-based PicoP engine. It's already small enough to be embedded in modern smartphones and is power efficient.

AR wouldn't draw much power because you're generally only drawing a small part of the scene. That makes the on/off laser approach superior to LED-based projectors.
