Today we’re seeing the simple benefits of location: finding friends or places of importance nearby or ads we may want to see in specific geo-fenced areas, for example. Context and location could drive user interfaces of future mobile devices, build maps of activities we’ve done, and will surely play a big role in augmented reality applications. [...]

You can view pictures from your past hang out at your favorite restaurant days, weeks or even years later. Leave notes for friends and strangers.

People wish they could freeze moments in time and AR + Media + Social Networking would create a live stream of photos in time and space.

Not that’s what I’m excited for!!!!

Right now cellular towers triangulate the phones location and transmit the results to the phone. Once phones can self triangulate then users will be more comfortable with the feature.

See “Vuzix” amongst others.
Nice HMD would be a game-changing, we cant hold up our phones forever!

Also see; (book) Halting State and the (excelent anime) Dennou Coil for more good examples of realistic yet fantastic AR in fiction.

But for things were the granular detail is required in the vertical plane, AR becomes very usefull.

Its also more usefull to have an AR view when things are far in the distance;
The tradeoff of overhead is you see a surround view with no height.
The tradeoff with ar view is you see a infinite perspective view, but only from one angle.

Both have their use’s.
