Augmented reality could open up huge potential for education outside of the classroom and enable students to learn and interact with whatever is in their immediate physical environment at any particular time. It could also transform publishing and the way we interact with books and images by enabling us to transform them into interactive multimedia. The best way to see how this works is to go to the GE website which uses augmented reality to show forms of renewable energy. (http://ge.ecomagination.com/smartgrid/#/augmented_reality ). This has a really nice example of 3D augmented reality. You’ll need to print up a single piece of paper, then hold it up in front of your web cam and see what happens or if you are feeling lazy, just watch this video: GE’s Augmented Reality
So what do you think?
Do you have your own prediction about what Web 3.0 will be?
Have you tried any augmented reality apps yet?
