I've seen several very creative demos but I'm still struggling to see practical applications. It seems like massive, every day adoption of this kind of AR is going to have to wait for dedicated glasses. Maybe I just lack imagination.
The emperors cloths might just become a story on a boys defunct glasses.

Maybe point it at a sports game for stats and game data? Point it down the street to have great restaurants highlighted? Point it at the sky to get astronomical facts? Point it at tourist landmarks to find out about them? Point it anywhere to see where athletes/runners/cyclists have run and in what time? Visualise all historical car accidents at a given location?

Example : Visiting a museum. I want context around the displayed works to better grasp the key concept.
How it works today :
- Guided tour : needs time management (when does it starts ?) + plus paying a human being (what language?) + keep with group speed
- Audio guide : Better, but lacks of visual explanation. Input (which track should i play concerning this work ?) requires some visual encoding (title, #, qr)
- Reading explanation next to the actual work : Lots of reading, not suited for different types of visitors
- AR : Could use the actual work as form of encoding to deliver the contextual information. Can adapt to the amount of data, depth that visitor want's to have.
Does that make sense ?
