- naikrovek 5y agowhat does "augmented" mean to you? to me, listening to a podcast while driving is probably augmented reality, and that has nothing to do with driving or the route I'm taking. this does augment the activity intended.
- lights0123 5y agoFrom the first sentence of Wikipedia: > Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information I agree in that there needs to be some interaction between real-world objects and virtual ones to be considered more than a simple HUD.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoThat sounds like where these glasses do. What do you want them to do in AR? Give you graphics?
- grassgreener 5y agoSomething like optimal trajectory or gamification of the surrounding environment
- GhettoComputers 5y agoI don’t see how that’s possible, it would have a prerendered map for a path like a game? use laser sensors to warn you of danger? I think it’s very possible on unnatural roads but on off-road it would not be useful.
- Filligree 5y agoThat’s still the definition of the technology. You’re right that it mostly doesn’t exist yet.
- GhettoComputers 5y agoIn unnatural places can have markers that tell it to show you things, like how cars auto park, invisible signals could do it too, they could add haptics and it would be AR.

- GhettoComputers 5y agoThey had an issue with that at a military base!
- Someone 5y agoA heads-up display moves with your head; augmented reality moves with the world. So, showing a billboard every 100m alongside the road showing your speed, heart rate, etc would be AR (and yes, a hud seems better option for this kind of thing)
- toolz 5y agoI mean if that's the definition of augmented reality - wouldn't literally all glasses be augmented reality since they either tint or do something to distort your vision?
- makeitdouble 5y agoTo put oil on the fire, there is the same debate about cyborgs: glasses are a mechanical enhancement of the human body, so technically… Less controversially, hearing aids and HDR goggles would also fit the bill.
- pmontra 5y agoShoes, hats, many kinds of clothes are mechanical enhancements. Gloves for working without hurting one's hands, etc. All those things give a definite advantage over unprotected skin. I don't even start listing tools, which glasses are.

- pengaru 5y agoNot pedantic, it's clearly not AR. At least not in a world marketers haven't completely taken over, where words still have meaning.
