I hate opening a menu and finding page after page of entree options.Unfortunately for me, seems it won't be long before the densest menus jump to life in the form of 3D, augmented reality visualizations.Augmented reality developers are taking aim at the dining industry, which in turn is likely to be a prime early adopter of AR technology.Also: AR and VR mean business: Everything you need to knowThat's because AR deployments, done well, promote engagement with customers. For example, patrons of NYC-based Magnolia Bakery can currently peruse the catering menu by projecting virtual renderings of cakes and cupcakes via a mobile device, which has been a big hit. The same technology is making its way into sit-down restaurants, and it's a sure bet you'll soon be seeing diners gazing at iPads and smartphones as they visualize meals that could soon be in smelling distance.The trend follows the deployment of AR experiences by food and beverage companies like Coca-Cola and Treasury Wine … [Read more...] about Augmented Reality is coming to a restaurant near you

Where’s the next Pokémon Go? Here’s what’s holding augmented reality back
For most people, augmented reality became real with the explosion of Pokémon Go. People who hadn’t taken a leisurely walk outside in years were walking around the streets bumping into new friends (and sign posts) while collecting cute animated characters that appeared on the sidewalk. For millions of people, the experience opened a new layer of science fiction, where they could interact with fantasy. The promise of augmented reality, at its best, is a new category of creativity. That was two years ago. Given Pokémon Go’s popularity, why haven’t any other augmented reality experiences grown to similarly massive levels? The YouTube model Augmented reality is in a similar state to where online video was twenty years ago.

The heads-up display (HUD) is designed to allow soldiers in combat to orient themselves in the fight and rapidly come up with a plan to defeat their enemies.

The augmented reality concept is based on the heads-up display used on fighter planes. Introduced in the late 1970s, HUDs project key information such as speed, altitude, heading, radar mode, and available weapons onto a fighter pilot’s field of view, allowing the pilot to keep his or her eyes on the skies.The Army wants HUD 3.0 to work similarly, keeping track of a soldier’s location, the location of … [Read more...] about U.S. Troops to Test Augmented Reality By 2019
