The tech industry has been investing and buying AR companies left and right. http://www.forbes.com/sites/davealtavilla/2015/05/30/apple-further-legitimizes-augmented-reality-tech-with-acquistion-of-metaio/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/davealtavilla/2015/05/30/apple-f... There is a lot of money in the AR space right now, and the different technologies for AR right now take several different approaches. 1) CastAR (Eye Glasses that reflect back light to the viewer) looks really promissing: http://castar.com/ http://castar.com/ I seriously could see this taking over monitors for some people for computing especially if there is security or privacy issues. 2) Magic Leap (Sounds like Science Fiction, have little faith in their promis right now) Beams light into your eye in a way that won't make you sick or give you a head ache. Serious technology problem with silicon photonics production that has stumped Intel right now http://www.technologyreview.com/news/538146/magic-leap-needs-to-engineer-a-miracle/ http://www.technologyreview.com/news/538146/magic-leap-needs... 3) Microsoft Future Vision 2011 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cNdhOKwi0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6cNdhOKwi0 Uses glasses to overlay a translation on signs (Traditional idea of glasses with transparent display) I find this to be a decade away easily. 4) Contact lens (Super cool idea not sure how many of us will drop a contact into our eyes) Not only AR but the ability to measure sugar levels for diabetics. http://venturebeat.com/2015/04/25/the-future-of-augmented-reality-could-be-a-contact-lens-podcast/ http://venturebeat.com/2015/04/25/the-future-of-augmented-re... 5) AR looks to have a $120 Billion dollar projection and VR has a $30 Billion dollar projections http://fortune.com/2015/04/25/augmented-reality-virtual-reality/ http://fortune.com/2015/04/25/augmented-reality-virtual-real...
