Augmented Reality is within reach

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?
