augmented reality

Wearable computing is coming, and combined with augmented-reality apps, it could bring some benefits for the enterprise.

Matter has anti-matter, Superman has Green Kryptonite, and now Google Glass has anti-Glass?

Across the street from the Great America amusement park, a small gathering of augmented reality enthusiasts were building an amusement park of their own. Armed with iPads, Android phones, and high-tech headsets, the people of the Augmented World Expo set about creating a more exciting reality.

Like the tablet market, Google Glass may currently be viewed as a consumer product but it will soon be seen on the faces of IT and mobile employees.

High-tech glasses are becoming more advanced and could one day give you options to get directions, place video calls or check into social networks.

If you're feeling a little lonely, technology is always there to help. Not only can you meet people via social networks, you could also create a robot that sits on your shoulder so your friends can virtually follow you wherever you go. But if that isn't enough for you, you can take it one step further and make an augmented reality (AR) girlfriend.

Google might want to use its new smart glasses prototype to look over its shoulder
