Watch: Apple goes all-in on augmented reality

I am more interested in the non gaming applications of AR, and technically every Apps in Apps store can apply AR, although the benefits might vary. Writing on top of the real table? On the actual wall? Listen to the sound any actual objects by tapping on screen? Pointing at the hotdog stand and click to buy? Again, not every apps will find the use in AR, but one thing for sure, it will change the user experience totally.

I'm still looking for an interesting use of AR. Thus far the only one I have seen is Star Guide mentioned in the keynote, that displays constellations and planet positions over the real sky. Having virtual monsters run around on a table or masks appearing on my face seems gimmicky.

Remember when the App Store was flooded with "fart apps"? Things are just getting started with AR, so there will be the low-hanging fruit apps first, then the really useful stuff will come soon after.

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

I'll bet you're not a teenager. Or don't know many.
