Augmented Reality: Will you use it?

[Dryland]

I look forward to using this technology on vacations when I want more info about an item. Imagine a link to Wikipedia just by pointing your iPhone at a structure or monument.

Today's video showing how it could work to get information about a person is even cooler. No matter where you are you will be truly on the web. Some could care less about this, but for a geek like me I think it's revolutionary.

What are your thoughts?

It's definitely revolutionary once more people know it's out there.

Once it gets more widespread appreciation it's going to be a way of life.

i think its kinda freaky! i would probably use it from time to time, but the freaky factor would still be there!

It will be great for so many things! Especially the first time you go to a tweetup and don't know any of the attendees...just aim your iPhone at random strangers until you find who you're looking for. And meeting a stranger off Craigslist at the local B&N to sell something? Awesome.

All those people you follow on Twitter - some of them are really nice folks! We've been getting together once or twice a month now for almost a year. But it's tough the first time you show up alone!

Tweet up. Never heard of em. Are they advertised? Are they scheduled in different cities?

[chobbs1]

Oh! To the OP. He'll yeah I'll use it! It is the next big thing!

All you have to do is find people who tweet in your area. If they don't already have them - suggest one.
