Geekmented Reality

Faris talks quite a bit about augmented reality over on his blog. Its pretty interesting stuff really - overlaying digital invormation over the real world through some handy display or even an eyeball implant (yum..), and in doing so making the real world a more connected place where the infinite information available on the internet can enrich peoples' lives in new and unexpected ways. If and when it becomes a commonplace reality, I have no doubt that the endless applications it will have will mimic the growth and development of the Internet, both surprising us and changing our lives forever.

Some really smart people at MIT (those guys are always up to some clever stuff) - have "developed a wearable computing system that turns any surface into an interactive display screen. The wearer can summon virtual gadgets and internet data at will, then dispel them like smoke when they're done." 

Have a look at this pretty cool video which they've made, demonstrating the life hacking ability of their gizmo.
