Augmenting Reality
from the i'm-having-enough-problems-dealing-with-plain-old-reality dept
Is your reality too dull? Scientific American has an article all about what's going on in the world of "augmented reality, which seems to be the field that everyone who used to work in "virtual reality" has moved into. Augmented reality appears to be the Snow Crash-like wearable computer system that will allow you to be connected at all times, with your computer both recording what you are doing, who you're talking to, what you're looking at, while also giving you more information about where you are, who you're talking to and what you're looking at.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
