This is pretty cool - but I'd like to know how augmented reality systems will take this to the next level.

Just consider looking at a 3D presentation augmented with the learning environment - be it a classroom or some location out in the open.

You could throw a ball and the graphics software could interact with some form of processing to present an equation for the inverted parabolic curve traced out by the ball.

The application domain would be huge. Just very expensive for a while.

Thanks

@silversobe there are better ways to revolutionize classrooms... Lets start with not feeding kids garbage. or is that just my school's problem?

[BoltOfThundor]

[silversobe]
