Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality
(AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) are terms that are becoming more and
more common today, and will continue to increase as a presence in our
every day lives as the equipment to use them become more
user-friendly, portable, and integrated into things we commonly use.
AR glasses are already reality, and someday it is likely that even
contact lenses will have these capabilities. A world viewed through
digitally-enhanced lenses allows for the digital realm to be overlaid
upon our vision, much like a “Heads Up Display” used in various
high-end vehicles already. Imagine the future where you are looking
around the room and see AR advertisements on the walls or notices
flashing messages in the corner of your vision when walking through
the supermarket. A digital icon may appear in your vision to notify
you of an incoming message, spoken by a distant friend and delivered
as text right in front of your eyes. Perhaps these messages will even
be delivered through subcutaneous implants in your ears so you can
hear the message without having to read it. Communication in the near
future will be much more streamlined than it is today.
