Ah, yes, Surrogates. Thank you.
Augmented or virtual. Tomatoes...tomahtoes...the twain shall meet. And, what I was thinking was that you could put the glasses on and get out there "cloaked" like in SL. Just a different manner of cloaking kind of. Then eventually you could put your glasses on your android...

Honestly, looks like a lot of nonsense to me.

I guess if maybe your work was heavy into computers it could come in handy, especially while driving down the freeway and you need those spread sheets finished.

Why is the title of your thread the 7th Sense?
Did I miss the memo about the existence of a 6th sense?
No you didn't miss the memo. The 7th sense was just the title name of the article in the OP.
Supposedly the 6th sense is psychic ability.

Kinda like this. I can give myself a hotter bod in SL via VR (not that I go there) and if AR can do this walking around in real life...there''s a similarity there. It brings the VR out into the real world, so to speak.edit on 4/4/2014 by ~Lucidity because: (no reason given)

A Thousand stars to you sir for the very nice list of just a few of the possibilities. The List can honestly go on forever. Heck it could use its own thread by itself. "List of possible AR glasses uses. I know Im always trying to think of new software to make. For awhile there, I thought I was the only one seeing the GIANT implications of this tech on our everyday lives. It ....will....change....everything.
I don't think its gonna take 20 years though. Seriously, by 2020 I see it as necessary as having your cell phone is today.edit on 4-4-2014 by Talltexxxan because: spellingedit on 4-4-2014 by Talltexxxan because: spelling (again)

Traffic's already freaking bad enough with idiots who can't seem to go the speed limit or freaking MOVE when the light turns green because they are reading their email/texting/making a call.
I shudder at this thought.

We won't have to worry about that. Google is working on self-driving cars.

Oh geez. No where to run...from Google. Haha.
Would that really work out if some cars drove themselves and others still had humans driving? I suspect that too would just make the frustration worse for human drivers. We can't even make car pool or HOV lanes work. Just bring on the trains already.
