Oh augmented reality, how soon will you arrive in full force? Virtual reality used to be the big thing in the late 90s, now it has changed to augmented reality. Overlaying our reality with digital graphics. The possiblities in education are pretty cool, although a lot of it is early in the 'hype curve' currently. Imagine learning how to use a new machine as a manufactor. You put on the Google glasses, walk up the machine and as you look at different parts of the machine a digital overlay gives you helpful information on the names of the parts, how to use them and what order to use them in. Safety warning may appear if a switch is on or if the machine is not set up correctly. Productivity statistics could appear letting you know who productive you are being compare to your coworkers, which may influence your bonus. Your trainer may be able to see what you are seeing and guide you remotely or give you visual prompts. Oh technology, when will you slow down? Hopefully never.
