an interesting application...


Take the input from your PMA camera and its on-board GPS/GIS software. Identify where you are, what you're looking at. The AR software provides a layer of information superimposed on your environment that relates to your schedule and the things you need to get done. There's no reason why AR technology should be limited in use to people working on cars, factory floors, insurance estimators, etc. If it's useful for them it will be useful for everyone. Just need some time for the powers that be to realize this and commit the resources to make the devices and software that are capable of bringing this to fruition. My bet is, there will be a nationwide AR infrastructure probably on CDMA networks by the end of this decade.
