Make Your Real Book Interactive
Why?
You cannot click on a word in a real book to get more information like you can in an ebook reader.
How?
By wearing an augmented reality device (like Google Glass) that can also visually track what you’re doing (like hand gestures), you can simulate the act of clicking on anything in a book and see more information about it projected on the page you are reading.

Augmented Reality Memories
Why?
We all like to remember happy moments and loved one who are not with us anymore.
How?
An app that you can “feed” with photos of people and happy moments of the past. Then when you point the app’s live cam at the spot where that memory took place (like the sofa), it will augment the live view with the people from that memory in the photo. You can pan left and right, and it will be almost as if you are looking at the live event from the past.

How to Augment Reality With the Right Music
Why?
Ever wondered what it would feel like if you could have just the right “soundtrack” playing for you in real life?
How?
Have your smartphone or computer observe you. What are you doing right now? Where are you and what are the background sounds? Based on these observations and on learning from experience, the software will suggest playing an appropriate soundtrack for the current scene in your real life. Just like in the movies.

Don’t Miss the Deals That Are All Around You All The Time
Why?
There is a disconnect between when you usually get exposed to ads and when you actually need them. You might read about a deal at work in you an email. Maybe get it in the post at home. When you need it might be on the way home a week from now, and by then you won’t remember what it was, where you put it or how to use it.
How?
Use the smartphone or smart eyewear. It will show you what ads, deals and coupons you have around you. Point it in a direction and see all of them superimposed on the view (augmented reality). You can also scan the ads with the app and it will alert you when you are around the place advertising.
