    It's anticipated that in 2021 the penetration of VR among US citizens will rise from 10.6% in 2018 to 17% from 10.6% , AR - from 18.2% to 25.4% respectively. Many industry practitioners believe that AR experiences will migrate from mobile devices to HMDs or glasses within the next five years, especially if major technical challenges-including battery life, continuous network connectivity, a viable app distribution system and cultural acceptability-can be overcome.

  • Google Glass just got a whole lot more useful for travel. The connected headset now has official apps for Foursquare, TripIt and OpenTable.
  • TripIt inserts its trip updates and information in the Google Now cards that already appear on Glass. Your flight status, departure time and gate will all appear on a single card
  • Open Table has its own command: "Okay Glass, make a reservation...." Once you speak those words, a selection of nearby restaurants will appear, ready for you to scroll through
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The current version of Google's Field Trip sends you notifications about surrounding points of interest, but the upgrade, released in April, lets you specifically ask what's nearby.
  • Word Lens completes the travel package. The app has been on Glass since last November, but its augmented-reality translation abilities are arguably perfectly suited for smart glasses. With Glass, all you need to do is look at a sign or menu, aim Glass' camera so the text you need translated is in an onscreen rectangle, and the words will change — from, say, Italian to English — before your eyes

    Дополненная реальность стала одной из технологий, которые выглядят круто и обещают очень многое, но по-прежнему используется не более чем в качестве трюка. Это верно как для мира игрушек, так и для мира технологий. Тем не менее этот год может стать переломным, если международная ярмарка игрушек может быть каким-либо индикатором. дополненная реальность обладает массой применений, вероятнее всего, она найдет мощный отклик в сфере игрушек и игр. Благодаря ей игрушки никогда не будут застаиваться и никогда не станут скучными. Компании постоянно могут обновлять цифровой контент или изменять физические игрушки по необходимости.
