*Okay, this isn't "augmented reality," because there's no three-dimensional registration in it. It doesn't register where it is, it has no GPS and it doesn't even have a server.

*But it is a real-time image-recognition system that pulls websites off wall posters. Also corporate logos, floor plans, whatever the camera recognizes. The user experience *looks like* augmented reality, because it's all overlays, pop-up bubbles and thumb clicks. So even if it's not "true AR," we're going to see these kinds of features and functions mashed-up through device interfaces.

*I like the quiet and boring qualities of this video, because its implications are rather sinister. You could build a great IED land-mine with one of these schemes. "Sit here and do nothing until you see a shoulder-patch flag on a uniform. Then, blow up."
