Thing 14: Augmented Reality

Wuhu, I got the Anatomy 4D app to work and there was a little skeleton standing on my keyboard in front of the screen :-) Fascinating.

But I still have a treacherous feeling that augmented reality is a tad more cumbersome than real reality. Does the Anatomy 4D app really give me more information than say a book or an animation - or is it just more fun to play around with?

There may be something in the LibrARi app. I liked the idea of helping people to locate a book on the shelf and to point to other relevant materials elsewhere. But I haven't had any experience with augmented reality yet, so to me it's still all theory.
