In a few years time we'll all be browsing the internet on a regular basis on our mobile phones and millions of people in emerging markets will be surfing the net for the first time through their mobile handsets.
At the rate we're going, there will be 5 billion people 'connected' by 2015.
All this I can believe. However, the notion of Augmented Reality was, I thought until recently, confined to the movies for some time yet.
Augmented Reality I think of as being 'Terminator' vision. When Arnie looks at someone, he gets all their vital stats, history, address, name etc. And that is exactly the future of mobile phone technology.
We can already get GPS on our phones, so surely it's just simple sums:
GPS + WWW = Terminator vision (Augmented Reality).
Can't wait!
