Has The AR Bubble Burst?

Via Scoop.it – Pervasive Entertainment Times

Don’t get me wrong, there are some great applications available but these are exceptions rather than the norm. Next week I am speaking at a conference on how AR can be used. As I search for demos, bar a handful of new apps, I find myself returning to the same apps I have demoed for the last few years. The savour of AR is long thought to be AR glasses. Almost on a weekly basis I see screenshots of futurist contact lenses and all encompassing portable glasses systems rumoured to be ready for release sometime soon. The technology isn’t even here yet and already its been hyped to a level where it will be impossible for it to live up to. If next year you think you’ll be reaching for a pair of AR glasses for your journey to work, you’re in for disappointment. AR glasses are not going to save AR, the killer app is going to save it.
