Augmented Reality & the Future of Printing
...
We're in a conference room after the workshop, and I've asked Lens-FitzGerald the big question: Where does augmented reality go from here?
At first, he's hesitant. He's been looking ahead for so long, he says, and now he's finally starting to "look at his toes." He mentions the practical stuff, the near-future stuff. Packaging. 3-D objects. AR goggles. But then he starts to look ahead, again. "I do see a far future (and yes, I am a science fiction fan) where, literally, I can alter and change my reality to whatever I want to," he says. "That could be through my phone, 'cause I look at it like that [points phone at a statue of an Eagle on the desk] and the phone recognizes that eagle and makes it fly away. Or it's my lenses, or even if I have it hard-wired, that will come at one point."
