Future of augmented reality
molbjerg:
It seems you missed my point....
You still rely on your eyes to see things, but have information overlayed upon reality when needed...
Glasses with heads up displays exist, a matter of time till that tech gets even better.

Yeah, we already have the tech to make display glasses.

That video was from 2 years ago. Developed just a bit further and you can probably make one that really does look like a pair of eyeglasses.
You can probably stream the image data wirelessly over bluetooth from a small processor unit (i.e. A smartphone), hand gestures can be read by accelerometers and proximity sensors built into a watch and ring. Both already exists. The only question now is how long it would take for smartphones to be powerful enough to process all that data and render the interface in real time.

That shit scared me. Just the ads alone seem overwhelming. That's worst than having commercials in your dreams. (Futurama reference)

If I had AR I'd probably have ten different channels of TV running at the corner of my vision.
I'd be more interested in looking at someone and seeing if they were single than making a cup of tea. It'd be cool if you could tag real life objects objects using AR. There are some alleys in downtown Seattle that constantly reek of piss so I could tag "smells like bum piss" around the corner so people could avoid them.

Something like that works with GPS and compass, though it isn't truly tagging an object by the handset understanding what it is.
There are some crazy video 'understanding' apps, although basically for the military etc. like suspicious packages video trackers and stuff.
But yeah, seeing a pretty girl and you get tags such as:
