Tom Armitage of the UK design firm Schulze and Webb has a good post up about the direction Augmented Reality technologies are headed and the need to consider what they'll be like in the future when we are not constrained by the limits of our current tech tools.
[W]hen AR really hits, it’s going to be because the technology it’s presented through has become much more advanced; it won’t just be webcams and monitors, but embedded in smart displays, or glasses, or even the smart contact lenses of Warren Ellis’ Clatter.
So whilst it’s interesting to play with the version of the technology we have today, there’s a lot of value to be gained from imagining what the design of fully-working AR systems might look like, unfettered by current day technological constraints. And we can do that really well in things like videos, toys, and games.
