What is augmented reality?
jacquesm: Augmented reality is a description of devices that overlay (or even replace completely) your view of reality with information from a device.Examples are cellphone applications that show data layers when pointing the cell phone at a scene and looking 'at' the scene through the lens of the phone, but similar (or even better) effects could theoretically be achieved by displays in glasses or by projecting straight on to the retina.For a demo of current applications have a look at 'layar', there are plenty of other groups busy in this field.
