Yes , that's right Augmented Glasses Microsoft style as described on their patent application.
Seemingly ready to take on Google's Project Glass announced earlier this year
The future looks very Star Trekkie

Augmented Reality Glasses
“A system and method to present a user wearing a head mounted display with supplemental information when viewing a live event. A user wearing an at least partially see-through, head mounted display views the live event while simultaneously receiving information on objects, including people, within the user’s field of view, while wearing the head mounted display. The information is presented in a position in the head mounted display which does not interfere with the user’s enjoyment of the live event.”

The 'Art' of Augmented Reality
Previously I highlighted the increase in use of Augmented Reality, and indeed hopefully suggested that one day it would bring pieces of art to life ( see previous post here )
Well I am pleased to say that it seems we are on the way, with ARART
One day I'm sure we will bring more than paintings to life but also sculpture, books and antiques to widen their appeal to a new, younger audience

Phygital* - Will The Real QR Code Please Stand Up
A read an interesting piece from Adam Hutchinson the Lead UX Architect at EHS4D ( in fact there he is sat 10 feet away from me), on the value of QR codes.
Adam argued quite legitamately that 'for all their wizardry, they are currently being used in exactly the same way as URLs. That is, to link to a web address'
And indeed in the majority of cases that's right. eConsultancy did show, however, some really clever uses in a recent article, my favourite being the one below
The jury is still out in particular as QR codes penetration is still quite low although recent experiments by broadcasters such as the BBC could very well increase awareness. The BBC One TV Program ''The Good Cook'' now has QR codes on screen to allow you to access recipes from the show.
Danny Cohen, Controller, BBC One, says: “I want BBC One to lead the way with interactivity and technological innovation so that we can keep engaging audiences in new ways. I hope viewers will find this experiment with QR codes to be a simple but useful tool to help them re-create the recipes they see on screen.”
But of course as soon as one technology is in the consumers hand, another one takes another large step forward. Why stop at black and white boxes when actually the object itself ,once plastered with a QR code, becomes the tag itself. Check out the video
