From Google glass competitors, to contact lenses with built-in displays, this tech is coming in part enabled by the wide adoption of smartphones.

Augmented reality apps can also be used for maintenance at home, perhaps making simple fixes on modern cars more accessible to more of us.

The campaign to make our cities more walkable begins in the virtual world. There are apps such as#Walk Score

Let's take a look at eight future uses for the best virtual reality headset. The Oculus Rift could ultimately transform movies at least as much as it does gaming.

Imagine a future version of Facebook where instead of posting photos of your lunch on your wall you have a Second life-like avatar

This virtual world could give a whole new meaning to the moniker virtual town square. Speaking of Second life the past-its-prime virtual world is already trying to get a jump on this by integrating Oculus Rift DK2 support into its social sandbox.

If autonomous cars become mainstream that would free us up to focus on other things while in the car.

#Amazon Wants to Bring Augmented reality to the Streaming Services Game With its recently-published patent for AR smart glasses,

disruptive element to watching video There no doubt as to the potential for augmented reality to change how we interact with our future world.

And, as revealed by its new patent for augmented reality glasses it looks like Amazon wants to take a crack at it as well,

(which is one form of augmented reality). Rather, the augmented reality experience only appears when youe watching the screen in front of you.

On top of this, Amazon also purports a more comfortable version of augmented reality as well, citing the headsets of other augmented reality devices as sually heavy,

expensive and uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. While Google glass may not fall in with that crowd,

it is true that simple glasses versus large headsets lend themselves to a more casual and pleasurable wearing experience, one

which would be ideal if you were watching video. The larger implication here is that Amazon glasses would be changing the landscape of video streaming by adding augmented reality to the mix.

If the glasses catch on and the majority of Amazon Video new, original content require the device for the full experience,

#How Magic Leap s Augmented reality Works A Florida startup called Magic Leap announced Tuesday that it had received $542 million in funding from major Silicon valley investors led by Google to develop hardware

for a new kind of augmented reality hardware. The secretive startup has yet to publicly describe or demonstrate its technology,

The filings describe sophisticated display technology that can trick the human visual system better than existing virtual reality displays (such as the Oculus Rift) into perceiving virtual objects as real.

But Wetzstein says Magic Leap will need likely to make major breakthroughs in computer vision software for a wearable device to make sense of the world enough for very rich augmented reality. hey will require very powerful 3-D image recognition,

Altogether, many of the underlying techniques Magic Leap needs to realize highly realistic augmented reality have been demonstrated,

Bhowmik also showed how data from a tablet s 3-D sensor can be used to build very accurate augmented reality games where a virtual character viewed on a device s screen integrates into the real environment.

#A Headset Meant to Make Augmented reality Less of a Gimmick Andrew Maimone thinks augmented reality hasn been much more than a gimmick so far.

Maimone, a Phd student at the University of North carolina at Chapel hill, is developing a new kind of head-worn display that could make augmented reality hereby digital objects

Conventional augmented reality glasses use lenses, beam splitters, waveguides, reflectors, and other optics to relay an image to the eye,

Maimone has been working on an entirely new kind of augmented reality device that is light and compact, and offers a wide field of view.

While state-of-the-art commercial augmented reality glasses have a field of view of 40°or less early Pinlight prototypes have demonstrated fields of view of 100°or more.

The prototype suffers from low resolution and image quality, far below the level of existing commercial augmented reality glasses.

And despite his skepticism about the current state or augmented reality, he believes that with the right research and engineering,
