The initial intent of this blog was to explore the potential of augmented reality used in cinema and theme parks. It seems a natural progression for something so interactive and visually based.
Recently I discovered that Dr. Michael Jones of the BYU Computer Science department has been developing and researching an implementation to use augmented reality for def students. The purpose would be to allow audibly challenged individuals have a transparent head set with tranparent goggles that would have an interpreter projected into the field of view, allowing them to have a free field of vision while still being able to see what is being said.
It seems that the implications of augmented reality are really limitless. Once the main elements can be developed, I believe that augmented reality will be used in virtually all aspects of life, much like cell phones and social networks have become a global daily routine.
The problem with saying something is limitless is that you have to define what access they're limitless on--it seems you're saying here that the possible applications are limitless. Am I correct?
