See Vinge's novel Rainbows End. It's a combo of the AR plus having sensors/effectors/networking embedded in all the stuff around you for computing to work with. The "internet of things" starts to go that way, but what I've heard of hasn't sounded that impressive. Seems like it needs to get way better at security and interoperability, though it's not my field.
- jacquesm 9y agoUbiquitous computing without proper security and interop is a non-starter. The present day internet of things to me looks mostly like companies that are in the 'goods' business that are desperately trying to get into the 'services' business because they would like themselves some slice of that recurring revenue.
- abecedarius 9y agoYes, I want to buy things that can talk only to my network, while apparently they want me to pay to host XYZcorp's botnet.
