Right - identifying AR as a hot area is easy, but formulating what that looks like requires vision. Money and talent will deliver the Palm Pilot (1997), vision will deliver an iPhone (2007).
My take on UX frontiers:
#1 text console
#2 mouse & keyboard
#3 touchscreen
#4 camera & microphone
I think we're at the beginning of #4, and starting to see this in categories like messaging, social networks, dating, and e-commerce. I consider overlaying AR elements to a live camera feed to be a subset of this shift, but by no means the defining aspect of this new method to interact with machines.

And an relevant parallel between Sculley's Newton and Cook's potential "AR innovation project". However - I get the feeling that it's a bit different from the mobile/touch UI revolution. That required lots of vision in terms of software and design. In AR I think there's really a lot of low-hanging fruit in terms of UX/design - once the trick part; the AR hardware has been solved.
- sebleon 10y agoThanks! What low-hanging fruit do you see for AR?
