But I'm still waiting for the games where "augmented reality" means they are superimposing game elements on the world around you. Like the editing sunglasses I once proposed on the Halfbakery.
Just a matter of time, probably (I think I saw some device which projects straight onto the back of your retina)
What surprised me was its speed... and the fact that many mobile phones have the same format/processing poweras that device - Camera on one-side, display + accellerometers + processor and memory - it seemed so "do-able"
Funny!
