Researchers are currently developing military-grade augmented reality technology to provide soldiers with instant access to context-sensitive information on things like friendly forces, potential danger spots, impending air-raid locations, rendezvous points and much more.

Jamais Cascio warns that augmented reality technologies could be misused to further the already crippling levels of political polarization in society.

The author looks at the potential 'worldchanging' implications of three virtual reality technologies: Augmented Reality, Virtual Worlds, and Simulations.

Computer-generated scenery can be realistically added to live video footage, using a machine vision system developed at Oxford University.

The classic arcade game PacMan has resurfaced on the streets of Singapore using ?augmented reality? technology developed by military-backed scientists at the University of Singapore.

An emerging technology known as ?augmented reality? will allow people peering through computer-fueled goggles to overlay virtual images atop those of the real world.

Computer scientists are developing a new offshoot of virtual reality, "Augmented Reality", that adds virtual information to a user's sensory perceptions.

Researchers at Columbia University are developing an Augmented Reality system which can superimpose computer-generated text, graphics, 3-D animation, sound, or any other digitized data (virtual 'Post-It Notes') on the real world through sophisticated goggles.
