I'd kill for glasses or contact lenses with this functionality.

So I imagine you've seen this: AR.Drone Parrot - First quadricopter that can be controlled by an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

I have seen that before, but to be honest it doesn't look too interesting. I was thinking more like accessing your e-mail on your wall or having virtual characters walking around your house. I would buy something like that in a heartbeat. Sony's Smart AR looks like it could have some potential; the other AR devices I've seen aren't very accurate and the 3d models tend to shake around a lot. That's not the case with this. I'm interested in the future applications Sony's going to develop with this technology.

What do you want to bet the networks will be ad supported, and you'll be watching commercials on your retinas at stoplights and in line at the bank. Transmetropolitan is now.
