I've heard complaints from several (and happen to agree) that augmented reality sounds awesome in theory, but in practice you feel like a weirdo standing there holding a device in front of your face, aiming around the town square. I can only imagine how much of a jerk I'd feel like waving my tablet around. Perhaps that's just "my problem", but I think it's got a decent chance of preventing AR from ever being anything but a novelty. Integrate it invisibly (to others) into a contact lens or stylish glasses and you've REALLY got something, though. (On the other hand, just as I didn't predict that AR would feel as weird to do in public as it does on a phone, maybe it's less bad in practice when done on a tablet with both arms. More like a map.)
